Delete an evidence type


Article Summary

If you no longer want or need an evidence type you can delete it by following these steps:

  1. Go to Quick-access menu > Evidence.
  2. Click the cross icon () next to the evidence type you wish to delete.
  3. Click Yes on the confirmation window. 

Once an evidence type is being used for an evidence item it cannot be edited or deleted. 

When an evidence type is deleted any custom fields created within it will also be deleted. 

There is a legacy evidence type (Legacy completion import) for either certifications or courses imported from the Totara Learn 12 system that cannot be edited or deleted (for data integrity purposes).

Another legacy type is for Unspecified type (if there was any evidence pre-upgrade that didn't have a type) - however unlike the other legacy evidence types the Unspecified type can be deleted, if all the evidence items using it are deleted.
