I have a customized Activities List screen that I copied over from Field Services and then made some changes to so that I could select multiple activies and have the "Update Selected" tab to change a group of activities at one time.  I would like to add an option to be able to "delete selected activities" so I can get rid of a bunch of cancelled activities, however nothing I have tried has been successful in deleting multiple activities.  Can anyone tell me how to add this? 

Hey Maureen,

I believe you already have a row for check boxes in your Activity Grid so we skip that step.

Now add a Button to the screen (e.g. 'Delete Selected'):

- Loop Through Grid (Activity) (NOTE: ONLY CHECKED ROWS is crucial here)

- Now in the loop add a 'Delete Record From Table'

This is my full Action Set:

Maureen remember this action is irreversible, use with caution. I would throw in some Conditional Warnings in the Action Set to be safe.

I hope this answers your question.

Hi Mortaza,

  Thank you!!  Works perfectly and yes I threw in a Message of "Are you sure you want to delete multiple activites" And a Conditional Warning of Stopping the process if I was trying to delete anything that contains a status other than "Cancelled".  Thanks so much for your help!

With Gratitude for this Forum

Hey Maureen,

Awesome! That conditional logic is the best route of action, better safe than sorry :).
