Delete Document File

Explanation

Use this activity to delete the document file that is attached to a document revision.

You should be the document's creator or the Administrator.
The document revision must have an attached document file.
The document issue must be set to Preliminary, Approval in Progress or Obsolete status. If the document issue is in status Approval In Progress, the Update allowed during Approval check box should be selected.

The physical document file and any existing view copy will be deleted from the archive. IFS/Document Management does not create a backup of files before deleting them.
