1.14.4 General procedure for deleting information used only in the old organizational system
After you finish updating asset information, delete the hierarchies of the departments that exist only in the old organizational system because they are no longer necessary. Also, delete the hierarchies of the departments that exist only in the old organizational system from the administration scopes of department administrators. To delete the information that is used only in the old organizational system:
- 1. From the administration scopes of the department administrators, delete the departments that have been deleted from the department definitions.
-
If departments that have been deleted from the department definitions are still included in the administration scopes of department administrators, do the following: In the Settings module, select User Management and then Account Management. In the Account Management view that appears, delete the departments from the administration scope.
- 2. Delete the hierarchies of the departments of the old organizational system that have already been deleted from the department definitions.
-
From the menu area of the Assets module or Inventory module, display the Delete Hierarchies Used in Old Organization dialog box. In this dialog box, batch-delete the hierarchies of departments that have already been deleted from the department definitions. Deleting the hierarchies of the departments of the old organizational system ensures that the hierarchies in the department definitions are consistent with those displayed in the menu area.
Note that if you delete the hierarchy of a department to which asset information is assigned, the department of the assigned asset information changes to Unknown.
- Important
-
If the security policies assigned to the deleted department differ from the security policies assigned to the Unknown department, the security policies assigned to the Unknown department are applied to the device. If you do not want to change which security policies are assigned, make sure that you migrate asset information to the departments of the new organizational system before deleting the departments of the old organizational system.
Information used only in the old organizational system is now deleted.
