DataSet Bulk Data Deleter

Use this function with care! This is intended to be used on new systems which may have used an extended trial period where data up to a certain date should be deleted from the database.

• Step 1: Locate the Bulk Delete button
• Step 2: Select a date
• Step 3: Confirm delete

Step 1: Locate the Bulk Delete button

To use this new feature go to: fw Server app > Setup > General > "DB Bulk Delete" button.

Included in the deletion operation:

• Bookings/Tasks with start date before selected date.

• Binders / Frameworks (and all Bookings within) with static date before the selected date.

• Personnel Events and Shifts before selected date.

• Dispatches with date before selected date.

• Maintenance before selected date.

• Requests before selected date.

• And their corresponding histories.

Step 2: Select a date

Once you have clicked "DB Bulk Delete" button, this will trigger the "Select Day To Delete All Data Before (not inclusive)" pop-up window.

Set e.g. 15. August 2025.

Step 3: Confirm delete

On the following: 

 "Are You Sure?

This Operation Is Destructive" pop-up window use "Confirm".

And on the "Done Deleting" pop-up window use "OK".

This will then delete ALL events on the 14. August 2025 and back to the beginning of time.

And on the fw Server app's "log.txt" this info will be logged:
