In-use Areas are marked with a [Check mark] to the right of the record.

Delete Unused Recruitment Areas

Delete an Area

Highlight the area to show the area's details on the right side of the page. Click the [Delete] button. Because the deletion will affect plans where the area is In Use, confirm the deletion, by clicking [OK].

If the area is In Use, the system will prompt you to choose a replacement area from the provided drop-down. Then click [Delete and Replace Original].
