Create a Delete View

When you design a board, you can add a delete confirmation message called a Delete view that appears on your board in WebEOC when a user attempts to delete a record. These messages help to prevent the accidental deletion of records. A default message is provided; however, you can configure the message header and message body. You can also add dynamic tags to the message body, containing information about the record in relation to the incident, or any other related field.

After you create a Delete view, you assign it to the Display view associated with the board in which you want it to appear. See Assign a Delete view to a List view.

The board must have an Input view and a List view before you can create a Delete view.
