Delete a Workspace

Delete Workspace Video

You can delete a workspace that is no longer needed without losing data contained in that workspace, which allows you to better organize the hierarchical positions of all projects in the database. Workspaces can be deleted by an application administrator or a user with Workspaces privilege.

To delete a workspace:

1. In the object selector, select  Workspace, and then select View Workspaces List.
2. On the Workspaces page, select a workspace row.
3. Select the  Context menu and select Delete.
4. If the workspace is empty and does not contain any data, select Delete in the Delete Workspace? dialog box.
5. If the workspace is not empty and contains data, review the message in the Delete Workspace? dialog box, and select Delete.

   Note: If an ID already exists at the parent workspace when the deleted workspace data is moved, the system appends the ID with a time stamp. The time stamp is formatted as YYMMDDHHMMSSmm.

6. The list of workspaces is updated and the deleted workspace is no longer visible. You will receive a notification when the delete is complete.

Tips

• When a workspace is deleted and the data is moved to the parent, you can select View Log in the notification or go to Manage Services and view the Delete Workspace Log.
• If a CBS or evaluation category is present in a workspace, the delete workspace action will fail. The CBS and evaluation category must be deleted manually if you want to delete the workspace.
• When a workspace is deleted and all content is moved to the parent workspace, the workspace costs are recalculated based on the currency and exchange rate in the new location.
