Deleting a location

When a location is no longer needed, you can delete it from Proplanum. The deletion is permanent and irreversible — it erases the location together with all the data linked to it. Only the Organisation Administrator can perform this action.


Caution: Deleting a location is irreversible. There is no archive and no restore option — a deleted location cannot be recovered. Along with the location, all linked data is erased: work schedules, time tracking entries, location settings, assigned positions and tags.


How to delete a location


  1. In the menu on the left click Locations (the ORGANISATION group). You will see the list of locations.
  2. On the location you want to delete, click the ⋮ icon (three dots) on the right of the row.
  3. From the menu choose "Delete permanently" — it is the last item at the bottom of the menu, marked in red as a destructive action.

  1. The "Confirm Location Deletion" window appears. Hold the "Hold to delete" button down for three seconds. A short click will not delete the location — that is a safeguard against accidental erasure.

Once finished, the location disappears from the list along with all its data.


When deletion is blocked


You cannot delete a location that is the main location of any employees. Instead of a confirmation window you will then see the message "This location cannot be deleted." with a note that it is the main location of some employees and that they have to be assigned to another location first.


  • Open the employee editor and change their main location to another one.
  • Do this for every employee whose main location is the one being deleted.
  • Once no employee has this location as their main one, the "Delete permanently" action will work.
