HELP : Where to Delete Multiple COntacts

[stefang]

Hi Guys,
am using OD 4.2.0d. have manged to get my 5000 contactsf rom ACT into Sugar. Unfortunately during the import process i managed to duplicate half of them.

Is there a process for deleting multipl contacts from the sytem.
If so can i :

Delete from the SQl query table record for cotacts
Administer via Admin and delete,
Add a Delete button to the ListDetail View for contacts via Studio,

or an alternative way.
I'll be developing a major case of RSI wrist if i have to click 5000 records

Thanks in advance

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I struggled with this too in my initial imports. Here's what I did to mass delete:

In your Admin settings, under System Settings, you can change the Listview items per page: from whatever it is (20 I think is default) to something like 500 or 999. (If you know code, you can get in there and make it more...)

Anyway, then you can click the top check box to select all the records that show up in your listview and delete them all.

It might be easier to delete them ALL and reimport if there's not an obvious way to sort the duplicate.

Let me know if that works...

Hi guys for starters i had turned off the Mass update in List view

include\ListView\ListView.PHP line 50 - 51 (btw i'm using 4.2 ver)

set the property to false

var $show_mass_update = false;
var $show_mass_update_form = false;

turning it back on allowed me to select and delete accounts. DUh!

Thanks for the help. This Sugar ROcks!
