Delete Events Awaiting Approval
To delete an event that is currently awaiting approval in Gatekeeper, it must first be either approved or rejected by the approver. The delete option will only become available once this has been completed. Administrators can override this by transferring ownership to themselves, but this should only be done if the event no longer requires valid approval.
To do this:
- From the navigation menu, expand Configuration, then click Users.
- Search for the user that is assigned as the approver for the event and click on their name.
- In the Ownership section, click Reassign in the Approver row of the Events table.
- Select the checkboxes for the events you need to delete.
- Search for your name and click Bulk Transfer.
Once the approval has been reassigned to you, you can delete the events by following these steps:
- From the navigation menu, click Events.
- Click on the relevant event, then click Approve or Reject as appropriate.
- Return to the Events list, then expand the 3 dots and select Delete.
- Click OK to confirm.
