Home Forums Discussions Problems Removing Bulk Imported items

My MA accidentally imported a batch of files to one patient, unfortunately about half (28 or so) were to the wrong patients. Other than going to each individual patient import item and deleting them, does anyone have a way to remove these files in bulk? (Hint, just removing the message does not do it)

If there are only 10 can't you just go into the patient and delete from imported items screen. Once you put in password on the first one it doesn't prompt for password on remaining ones.
You could also browse to the folder they are stored in and delete from there then run the utility that would look for missing links and remove them. (But this will take a lot longer than deleting 10 labs). Now if you had imported a couple hundred to multiple patients then searching based on file date and deleting in mass may be worthwhile but for 10 not so much.

Well, I updated it because it was 28, but I think I will have to manually delete them. A pain, but doable. I figured someone else had this problem and hoped they had come up with a better solution.

You can navigate to the imported items folder for the patient in question, And then delete the files using Windows Explorer. Or course you have to know which files to delete.
Then as. Administrator run the imported items repair function. This will delete the items from the imported items folder that you deleted from the network drive.

How about removing bulk financial information. We started using AC in 2009 and did not use the accounting part of the program. Accounting was done in a PM program that subsequently died. We have actively used the accounting section since 2011. We would like to just delete the financial info that is in AC from 2009 till 2011. The accounts are actually the accounts for 2011 and forward but we would like to just bulk delete the old stuff.
