Deleting Regulations and Assigned Items

You can delete regulations, compliance programs, requirements, and locations when working from these tasks:

• Compliance Program Manager / Manage Compliance Drill-down
• Compliance Program Manager / Manage Regulations and Initiatives
• Compliance Program Manager / Manage Compliance Programs
• Compliance Program Manager / Manage Compliance Requirements
• Compliance Program Manager / Manage Compliance Locations
• Contract Manager / Manage Contracts Drill-down

Note:  This topic applies to the hierarchy of regulations-contracts-contract terms, as well as the hierarchy of regulations-compliance programs-requirements.

Regulations

When you delete a regulation, you are also deleting the compliance programs and requirements (and contracts and contract terms) associated with the regulation. Deleting a regulations also deletes all locations, future events, and notifications associated with the regulation's programs and requirements. These deletions occur when you click Delete.

Note: Working from Compliance, you are able to work with the "Egress" or "HAZMAT" Regulations, but you are not able to delete or rename these regulations. These regulations are managed from the Emergency Preparedness application.

Note: If a regulation has contract costs associated with it, and you want to delete the Regulation record, you must first delete any associated Contract Cost records.

Locations

Locations are managed using two tables: the Compliance Location Assignments (regloc) table and the Compliance Locations (compliance_locations) table.

• The Compliance Location Assignments (regloc) table stores all compliance_locations records associated with regulations, programs, requirements, contracts, and contract terms.

• The Compliance Locations (compliance_locations) table stores geographic locations, equipment, and employee references. Other tables reference this table to associate locations, equipment, or employees with regulations, programs, requirements, contracts, contract terms, violations, events, documents, or communication logs.

If the regulation, program, contract, contract term, or location you are deleting does not have any associated documents, violations, events, or communication logs, then the records in both the Compliance Locations and Compliance Location Assignments table are deleted.

If the location does have any of these items associated with it, then only the Compliance Location Assignments record is deleted. The record in the Compliance Locations table remains so that it can be referenced by any of the other items the location is associated with.
