Delete Your Data

Start by navigation to the reports are of Array. This is the same process for downloading data also.  Click on Reports in the left hand side sidebar.

​

This will take you to a tile of all folders where again you select the one necessary that you want to view. You will see the tiles for each folder have a wavy line if you have made submissions. This line will change color depending if it is just text data or media that have been submitted. ​

Selecting a tile will open up the folder and again you will have a view of all forms within that folder with a line of data activity. This is where you will have the option to view all different types of data collected but the most common is submission view. To delete submissions it is best to locate to submission view where you can see the form as a whole. 

Submission view displays all submissions and all data on the submissions. Here you can show fields for quick referencing, open the submission to edit or even add admin notes to the submission. First, use the filter to ensure you have all submissions showing if you have made more than 250. 

​

​If you want to find a specific submission you can use the advanced filters to find it straight away. ​

​Once you have found the submission(s) you want to delete, you can either select specific submissions using the checkboxes on the left or you can use the checkbox at the top of the page to select all submissions. 

​

​You see below, selecting the top checkbox makes the selection of all submissions which is detailed at the bottom of the page.

​Alongside the number of submissions selected you will see the option to delete or download. This also appears when you make individual selections.
