Delete or hide registration (App)

CONTEXT #

This guide describes how to remove a registration in EG Ajour, the Inspect & QA module, on the app. On the app the function is called Delete – there is no separate “Hide registration” function, as you know from the web. What actually happens when you tap Delete depends on whether the registration has already been synchronized with the web (and thus has been given a serial number, e.g. #1) or whether it was created on the app without having been synchronized yet (shown as #NEW).

RELEVANCE #

You will typically need this function when a registration was created by mistake, has become redundant, or must be removed from the overview and the statistics. It is important to understand the difference between the two scenarios, as the consequence of tapping Delete is not the same depending on the registration’s synchronization status.

PREREQUISITES AND REQUIREMENTS #

• Access to the EG Ajour app with the relevant registration available
• The project permission: Inspect / QA → Registrations → Hide → Own (+ possibly Own company + possibly Others)
• The registration must be synchronized for the change to take effect on the web. Synchronization is therefore a prerequisite for the entire process – not a step you have to perform yourself in the middle of the guide

Please note: Check whether the registration is shown with a #number (already synchronized) or #NEW (created on the app, not yet synchronized) before you continue. This determines what actually happens when you tap Delete.

GUIDE (step by step) #

Step 1: Open EG Ajour and select the Inspect & QA module.

Step 2: Select the desired project.

Step 3: Select the relevant registration type.

Step 4: Find the registration – either via the registration drawing or via the list.

Step 5: Open the registration.

Step 6: Tap Delete in the bottom menu.

Step 7: Confirm the action by tapping Delete in the “Delete registration” dialog box.

Important: There is no undo option in the app once you have confirmed the action.

Meaning #

Regardless of synchronization status, the following happens when you tap Delete and confirm:

• The registration is removed from the overview
• The registration is removed from the statistics

In addition, the consequence depends on the synchronization status:

• If the registration has already been synchronized (shown with a #number), it is not deleted permanently – it is hidden instead
• If the registration was created on the app without being synchronized (shown as #NEW), it is deleted permanently and can never be restored

Important: A hidden registration (i.e. a registration that was synchronized before you tapped Delete) cannot be restored from the app. Restoring must be done from the web.

NEXT STEPS #

• Confirm in the overview or the statistics that the registration has been removed as expected
• If a hidden registration is to be restored, you must do it from the web – not from the app
• If the registration was created as #NEW and not synchronized, it cannot be restored anywhere, and must in that case be created again
• See the web guide for Hide registration if you want to understand the difference between app and web
