Delete a Site

The Account Owner can delete a Site that contains no Groups.

  1. From the main dashboard, click Manage to open the Site.
  2. Click Delete Site.

LO_Site_DeleteSite

 

A site containing a group cannot be deleted. In the case of a site whose groups have no recordings, delete the groups first, and then delete the site.

Note: Deletion of the only Site in an Account is not allowed. You can change its name, or add a second site and then delete the unwanted site.

What happens to associated users?

  • All Site Managers are removed from this site. Any associations with other sites are not changed.

Delete a Group

The Account Owner can delete a Group with no associated recordings. If a group has one or more recordings, it should be closed instead of deleted, even if it did not complete the planned number of LENA Days.

  1. Open the Group.
  2. Click Delete Group.

LO_Group_DeleteGroup

Note: Children with no recordings in the system will be deleted entirely. If any of the children will participate in other future groups, move them first to avoid extra data entry.

What happens to associated information?

Deleting a Group also does the following:

  • Removes all Coaches and other group users from the Group. Any connections those users have with other Groups will not be changed.
  • Removes all teachers from the Group. Associations with other Groups will not be changed.
  • Removes all children from the Group.
    • If a child has contributed a recording to any other Group, the child and his/her data remain in the system.
    • If a child has never contributed a recording, the child and all demographic information are deleted.
  • Deletes the Group Profile information.

Remove a Child From a Group

To remove a child from a Group where he/she has not yet contributed a recording:

  1. Open the Group.
  2. Go to the Children tab.
  3. Click the Remove Child icon.

LO_Group_Child_RemoveChild

  • If the child has contributed a recording to any other Group, the child and his/her data remain in the system.
  • If a child has never contributed a recording, the child and all demographic information are deleted entirely.

Note:

A child who has contributed data to a Group cannot be removed from that Group. If the child's data does not actually belong to the group, contact support@lena.org for assistance.

Extra Credit for Eagle Eyes!

You may have noticed that in the illustration above, Karyn's removal icon is unavailable even though she shows no Last LENA Day.

Why?

By clicking into her reports, we can find that she has one short recording. It is too short to count but it does prevent her removal. The recording would need to be deleted first.

Delete a Recording

At our discretion, the LENA support team can delete recordings that are junk, accidental, or of unknown origin. Please contact support@lena.org with the Site name, Group name, child's ID, and the date of the recording. Deletion is permanent; it cannot be undone.
