Delete an organization

Deleting an organization deletes not only the organization, but objects and data associated with the organization. As a rule, you should not delete organizations.

Consequences of deleting an organization

    Historical data for an organization is shown in QM Reports even after an organization is deleted.

  • All associated sub-organizations and data that are associated with the organization are deleted.

  • Employees that belong only to that organization are deleted at midnight of the day the organization is deleted.

  • Employees who were associated with the organization at one point, but who are not part of the organization when it is deleted show a gap in their continuous record. The organization that they were assigned to prior to the now-deleted organization is extended to cover that gap.

  • Agent QM evaluations are not deleted; however, the evaluations are no longer accessible via the user interface.

Rename rather than delete

To clean up the organization hierarchy, rename rather than delete organizations. To move an organization to the bottom of the hierarchy, add a prefix such as ZZ_ to the organization name. By not deleting the organization, you preserve evaluations and other historical items associated with that organization.
