Deleting WAITING tasks

Background tasks can be deleted only if they have a Status of WAITING on the Active Background Tasks form. Even then, deleting a task record from that form does not delete the task definition from the Background Task Definitions form.

Open the Active Background Tasks form.
In the Grid View, select the task to be deleted.

Note: The task must have a Status of WAITING. Tasks that have any other Status indication on that form cannot be deleted.
Delete the task record as you would any other record.
Save.

Note: When deleting background tasks, keep these facts in mind:

To completely delete a background task, you must also delete the task definition from the Background Task Definitions form.
You can use the Background Queue form to add a task several times. If you later decide to delete a task on the Active Background Tasks form, be sure to delete the correct task.
