Delete Root Cause Analysis Fields

Background

In the Company level Admin tool, you can delete custom values for Hazard, Contributing Condition, and Contributing Behavior fields. This ensures your team members only see and select the most relevant, up-to-date options when creating an Observation or Incident, helping your organization maintain compliance and consistent data policies.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permission

  • Additional Information:

    • Important! You can only delete custom fields that have been added to the project. Default fields cannot be deleted.

    • If a custom field is currently in use on at least one (1) observation or incident, the delete icon will be unavailable (grayed out) to prevent data corruption.

Steps

  1. Navigate to the Company level Admin tool.

  2. Under 'Company Settings' in the sidebar, click Root Cause Analysis.

  3. Click the Delete Icon Delete Trash6 icon next to the custom field you want to remove.
    Notes:

    • If you want to hide a value from project teams without permanently deleting it (or if it is currently in use and cannot be deleted), use the Toggle switch to make the field Inactive. See Edit Root Cause Analysis Fields.
