Warning: Deleting any initiative will remove it from LEAD. The initiative cannot be recovered if you change your mind or make a mistake! We recommend that you Archive initiatives or make them Inactive instead.
Note: Deleting the initiative will only delete the data entered under the Initiatives tabs, it does not delete any data created for the initiative on the Library or Resources tabs. If you want/need to delete that data, too, then before deleting the initiative generate the:
•Skill Hierarchy report (Analysis > Documents or Implement tab) for any items created on the Library tab: verbs, conditions, standards, knowledge, skills, abilities, and interventions.
•All Resources report (Analysis/Design > Resource Management) for any resources created on the Resources tab.
After you delete the initiative, review the skill hierarchy report to determine which entries to delete on the Library tabs. LEAD will prevent you from deleting any Library entry that is being used/cited by any initiative. To delete any now unused resources, go to any Resources tab and select Unused Resource Management to review and delete any unused resources that are listed in the All Resources report.
