Delete a Placeholder

You can delete a placeholder from a project if it is no longer valid. You cannot delete placeholders that have had documents issued against them, or placeholders that have pending document issues.

To delete a placeholder:

  1. Navigate to the project.
    You can search for projects using the Search Projects link in the Activity Zone. Projects that you are linked to also appear on the History tab in your contact record, and in the Projects dashpart in the Personal Zone.
  2. On the project window, click the DLM tab.
  3. Select the check box for the placeholder that you want to delete.
    You can select multiple placeholders to delete in one operation. If there are many placeholders in the list, use the search to find placeholders, or add filters to narrow down the list.
  4. Click the Placeholders tab.
  5. Click Delete Placeholder.
    The Delete Documents window displays a list of all document placeholders that you have selected to delete. Any document placeholders that cannot be deleted display a red exclamation mark. Click the exclamation mark to display the reason.
  6. Click Delete.
