Hi,

I'm new to F1 and just was wondering if there is some way to just go in and "Delete" a household (or individual)?  I put a "test person" in and want to delete them now and can't seem to find a way to do this!

 Thanks so much for any help...

Nope, can't do it.  You can change their status to inactive, and then add a substatus to clarify why they're no longer active, according to whatever best suits your church's record-keeping needs.  Inactive individuals don't show in reports unless you select "inactive" to be included in the search.

Well, that's retarded!!!  I can foresee people entering "fake" users w/o our control over it and then we'll be stuck with a bunch of bad data...!

We put in a person named Recycle Bin, and we occasionally go in and merge all the test people or not-so-funny jokes into Recycle Bin. It's a roundabout way to delete people...

Hope that helps!

You can also merge them with a household set up as Delete and merge all unwanted households there. If you put in a request, FT will also delete households for you.

One possible alternative would be to create some sort of dummy record in the system and then merge unwanted people records into that record. That will retain any giving, but will effectively remove the bad data from your system.  I know that others have done this in the past and the only warning is to be careful as you would in any merge. You don't want to accidentally merge the senior pastor intead of  someone who is inactive and has a name really similar to your senior pastor's.  :)

Hope that gives you some ideas.

Thanks so much for the info!  I feel better now :)
