As part of the general “right to erasure/right to be forgotten” which forms a key part of the new GDPR, the ability to quickly remove any/all communications for people or leads within Sage CRM is now of key importance. In this Ask the Expert guide, Chris Bunyan, Business Software Specialist at Cellular Solutions explains how to make this process as simple as possible. Please be aware that the delete button referenced is only available for system administrators.
The Communication tab will have a button to allow them Administrators to delete all communications associated with a contact.
By clicking the delete the communication will need to be confirmed.
This will affect all communications for this person. If you delete communications such as a Task that are not linked to any other Person in Sage CRM. Then the communications are deleted and the communications are no longer visible to any users. If you delete a communication such as an Appointment that may be linked to multiple People in Sage CRM then the link for that person is removed but the communication remains for the other contacts.
System Administrators can also delete Documents that have been added for a person records this will remove the database library record AND the physical file on the CRM server.
You can also use groups to mass delete communications and documents
When the mass Delete button is used the administrator can select what type of records you want to delete
After clicking the delete button you get confirmation that you want to delete the records.
You will then get confirmation on the number of records that have been deleted from the system
