If you no longer want or need a position then you may wish to delete it.
To delete a position, follow these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Positions.
- Click Manage positions.
- Click the name of the position framework containing the position.
- Click the cross icon (
) in the Actions column for the position. - Click Yes on the confirmation screen.
When the position is deleted it will be removed from any users who had it assigned to them.
The Totara Academy has a whole course dedicated to using Positions, organisations and job assignments in Totara. Here you can learn more on how to use hierarchies and job assignments, see best practice, and give it a go yourself.
