How do I delete notification activity?

You can use the Delete Notification Activity to delete the records that are created by printing notices. For example, you would need this routine if an entire batch of notices were printed incorrectly.

You can delete an entire batch, specific references within a batch or an individual notification activity. Use the Notification Activity information, displayed on the pane to the right, to make sure the correct batch is being deleted. Unless you have a backup ready there's no undo to restore the deleted data.

Important! There are no date restrictions for delete batch notification activity.
