How to delete a checklist? (Trying to delete an onboarding HR checklist but it wont delete?)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Henry G Smith 281

Hi, 

I want to delete a test onboarding checklist that I created, however when I select the checklist and press delete an error pops up which says "Business process template cannot be deleted while dependent Business process exist. Delete dependent Business process and try again". 

I've gone into previous employees which I've assigned the checklist to in the past and deleted it from their profile and I still get the same problem. I went into business processes and there is nothing there as well? 

I've also looked into the excel worksheet folder but can't seem to find anything that correlates with business process.

Hopefully someone can provide some guidance?

    Hi HSDynamics,

    Please check the entity: Onboarding worker checklist header in excel workbook designer and remove the complete row where you can see your checklist from the excel and publish the changes.

    After that, you can able to delete your checklist.

    Hi Parag Chapre ,

    Sorry to bring this up so late.

    I've opened up Onboarding worker checklist header and removed the row - actually no rows are populating in the workbook. I am still getting the same error when I try to delete the checklist.

    Thank you,

    Henry

    If you want to delete a checklist you will need to make sure that all tasks assigned have been completed or deleted. If you don´t follow that step you won't be able to delete the checklist itself.
