Delete a project template
When you've finished a particular type of work or you create 1 or more project templates that replace an existing template, you might want to delete the original template.
When you attempt to delete a project template, you might get a message that the project template cannot be deleted because it is associated with historical data. In order to delete a project template, you must delete all references to it in the database.
The most common references will be projects created using the project template. To remove all projects created from the template:
- SelectActions, thenManage Projects.
- Use the filter to find the project template to delete: Project Template ID | is | <template ID>.
- Clear theOpen Projects onlycheckbox so that completed projects for this template will show as well.
- Select all the projects on the screen.
- Right-click anywhere on the screen and selectDelete Selected Projects.noteIf there are more projects then can be displayed at the same time, you'll need to repeat steps 4 and 5 until all projects are deleted.
- SelectSetup,Templates, thenProjects.
- Select the project template, thenDelete.
- If you still can't delete the template, check all screen and report filters where the project may be referenced and delete the reference.
