Delete Inspectors

Permanently remove an inspector record from SHIELD.

Overview

Use this guide to delete an inspector record that is no longer needed — for example, when a personnel member has left the organization. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

Deleting an inspector record cannot be undone. Before proceeding, confirm the inspector is not currently assigned to any active inspection tasks or schedules. If they are, reassign those tasks first or consider using Edit Inspectors to update their record instead of deleting it.


Steps

Navigate to the Inspectors Management Screen

Open Settings and click Inspectors to access the inspector management list. Locate the inspector record you want to delete.
