Unused Resource Management

What can you do on this screen?

On the Unused Resource Management screen, you can view and remove resources that are not cited anywhere in LEAD. This is independent of versions, so if versions 1 and 3 of a publication are cited in initiatives and version 2 is not, then version 2 of the publication will be listed on the Unused Resource Management screen and can be deleted/removed.

Note: When it comes to intervening versions of an IETM, where a later version has a comparison file, you will get a message when you delete the IETM to remind you to check the grouping and comparison files of the other versions of the IETM to ensure they are still associated properly to each other.
