Delete Multiple Records

To delete multiple records from the Polaris database:

1. Select multiple records from the Find Tool results list, a list box, or a record set.
2. Right-click and select Delete from the context menu.

If you are deleting bibliographic, item, or patron records, the Multiple Object Deletion dialog box appears.

3. If you have the required permissions, and you want to keep warning messages from displaying whenever a record with links to other records is encountered, select one or both of the following checkboxes.

• breakable links - If you select this option, the records with breakable links will be deleted without any warning messages appearing.
• unbreakable links and other stopping conditions - If you select this option, the records with unbreakable links are not deleted, but they are skipped over without any warning messages appearing.

4. Click Yes to delete the selected records. If you decide not to delete the selected records, click No or close the dialog box.
