How do I delete a name from the ChurchTrac database?

To permanently remove a name from ChurchTrac, open the people screen, and click on the name of the person you want to delete. From the bottom of the people screen select "Delete the selected name" from the list (2008 version) or click the delete button (2009 version).

IMPORTANT: If the individual you are deleting has any attendance, contribution, or event data associated with him or her, ChurchTrac will ask you to verify that you really want to remove the name. It is recommended that you not delete names that have this information associated with them, as that will remove all their associated information as well. In other words, if you delete a person who attended a class at some point in the past, the attendance total for that class on that date will be decreased by 1 when you delete the name. Any contributions they person made will be removed as well, changing the total amount of contributions received on any day where the deleted person made a contribution.

The free version of ChurchTrac allows you to enter up to 100 names and delete up to 50 names before you must purchase an unlock code.
