Deleting a Course from the Catalog

When deleting a course it is very important to choose to Remove Links when making this removal.

This will remove the course link from all of the programs and other courses it is linking to as well as avoid any broken links within the catalog. Broken links affect the program tables and Word export.

When deleting a course, if it is linked to programs or other courses throughout the catalog, a pop up will open to warn you of the links being broken.

If you wish to remove all of the links without review and continue with the deletion, choose the radio button option to Remove Links as seen in the image below and then continue until the course is deleted:

A Breaking Links page showing an item selected for deletion with the Remove links option selected and highlighted.

If you wish to review the links prior to continuing the deletion, click the Edit Links button and a new window will allow you to see each catalog item the course is linking to:

A Breaking Links page showing an item selected for deletion with the option to Remove links, Link to another item, or Leave links, and the Edit Links button highlighted above the Continue and Cancel buttons.

Each link will have an individual button for removing the link or linking the program to another course:

An Edit Links page showing a scrollable list of links that point to the selected item, with options beneath each link such as Edit, Remove Link, and Link to Other Item, with Remove Link, and Link to Other Item highlighted.

Once the list has been cleared, you can continue with the deletion of the course.
