Batch Delete Equivalencies
The EQ Search, or Equivalency Search, is a feature within the Equivalency Batch Editor that locates specific groups of equivalencies in the institution’s TES® database based on selected criteria. From there, equivalencies can be exported, edited, or deleted. Individuals must have the CREATE EQ user right to use this functionality.
This article reviews the process for deleting equivalencies through the EQ Search. Institutions may choose to batch-delete equivalencies using the Equivalency Batch Editor. However, such a choice should be considered carefully, as data will be unable to be recovered and can impact Groups and Group Reports.
In this article:
Select Equivalencies
See Find Equivalencies through the Equivalency Search for instructions on locating equivalencies for deletion.
A maximum of 5,000 results can be deleted at once. If additional results are returned in the search, criteria will need to be refined to allow for batch editing.
Batch Delete Equivalencies
Once equivalencies have been located:
- Select Batch Delete.
The message below will alert the user that a specified number of equivalencies are about to be deleted. All references will be deleted, including any references in Course Equivalency Groups and Reports. As noted, this action cannot be undone.
- Select Confirm to proceed with the deletion.
- Or select Cancel to return to the search results page.
After the batch deletion is complete, a message will appear indicating no data records are found.
