The application enables you to delete regulations, compliance programs, requirements, and locations when working from the Manage Compliance Drill-Down, the Manage Regulations and Initiatives, Manage Compliance Programs, Manage Compliance Requirements, or Manage Compliance Locations tasks.
When you delete a regulation, you are also deleting the compliance programs and requirements associated with the regulation. Deleting a regulations also deletes all locations, future events, and notifications associated with the regulation's programs and requirements. These deletions occur when you click Delete.
Note: Working from Compliance Management, you are able to work with the "Egress" or "HAZMAT" Regulations, but you are not able to delete or rename these regulations. These regulations are managed from the Emergency Preparedness application.
Locations are managed using two tables: the Compliance Location Assignments (regloc) table and the Compliance Locations (compliance_locations) table.
The Compliance Location Assignments (regloc) table stores all compliance_locations records associated with regulations, programs and requirements.
If the regulation, program, or requirement location you are deleting does not have any associated documents, violations, events, or communication logs, then the records in both the Compliance Locations and Compliance Location Assignments table are deleted. If the location does have any of these items associated with it, then only the Compliance Location Assignments record is deleted. The record in the Compliance Locations table remains so that it can be referenced by any of the other items the location is associated with.
