About WebNotice:
Deleting Notices

This is a single document -- why not print a copy for future reference??

WebNotice is an electronic system for distributing seminar notices to the UofT community. This document describes how to delete seminar notices previously submitted to this system. Ways of submitting, modifying, cancelling or viewing notices are described in the various documents indicated by the links at the top of this page.

NOTE -- Deleting a notice removes the notice permanently from the notices database -- you should therefore only delete a notice if you have entered it in by accident (for example, if you have entered the same event twice.) If you are actually announcing the cancellation of an event, you should use the cancel notice option -- this leaves the notice on the system, so that users will see that the event has been cancelled.

Only authorized users can cancel notices from the notices distribution system. If you or your Department wishes to use this system please contact the notices system administrator. He or she will add your Department to the system and provide you with a password authorizing you to deposit, modify, cancel or delete notices.


How To Delete

Step 1: Select the Department

After clicking on the word Delete on the system home page you will be presented with a list of the Department (or Divisons) registered under the notices system. Select the Department under which the notice you wish to delete is registered and press the Get List button. This will return you a list of notices, registered under this department, that are available for deletion

Step 2: Select the Notice

The posted notices are listed in brief. Simply click on the notice you wish to delete. You will then see a preview of the seminar notice, plus yes/no for selecting whether or not to delete the notice, plus a text window into which you can (optionally) type a reason for deletion. You press the Submit button to register your deletion request (the notice will not be deleted if you selected the no button).

You need to be an authorized user to delete an entry, and will be prompted for a username and password when you press the Submit button, should you not have already entered these quantities. If you are not presented with an input box for entering these quantities this means that you did this already -- there is no way to change these settings. Should the deletion be refused because of an invalid user ID, you will have to quit your browser and start again.
