There are times that you will want to remove a Location from rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it is an area that is no longer needing the attention. Maybe it is no longer used. Maybe the Location was accidental. There are a number of reasons to remove a Location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article we will explain how to Disable the Location and how to re-Enable or recover it, if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can access this page from the navigation bar by expanding the \u201cHWM \u2013 Admin\u201d menu, then click \u201cLocation List\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Once you have located the record you would like to delete, click \u201cDisable\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • It will no longer appear in the Location List\n
