Overview

This article provides instructions on how to delete a section from a sectioned form in a program cycle in Next. 

In the example below, an Intake Form is shown, but the process of deleting a section in a Post Award Report Form is the same.

Delete a Section

When a section and all of its contents need to be deleted:

1. Select within a section to make it actively editable. The section label appearing, as highlighted in the screenshot below, indicates the active section.

2. Select the red trash can icon within the section.

3. A confirmation message appears asking to confirm the deletion of the section and all the fields within the section.
4. To confirm the deletion, select the Delete button.

The section is deleted and no longer appears on the form.

--- IMPORTANT ---

Deleting a section deletes ALL of the form fields in the section as well; if configured form fields should remain, they need to be moved to another section before deleting the section.

--- IMPORTANT ---

Please note that if a form with sections is part of a workflow that has been published, its form sections cannot be deleted even if the cycle is unpublished.
