Editor - Delete Job

In Brief: All FormBoss jobs are stored on the local file system as: output/forms/{job_name}, and in the FormBoss database in the fb_jobs table. When you click this button FormBoss will attempt to remove the job from both locations if you give the final ok.

FormBoss will also remove any job entire's associated with the job from the fb_job_entires table if you so choose when prompted.

Dependencies: A saved job.

Hints & Tricks: Use caution when deleting jobs, and most importantly, create and maintain a rigorous backup schedule.

Basic Options And Usage
When you click the delete job button FormBoss will first prompt you to confirm the delete operation.

If you click Ok, the next step will be to decide if you want to attempt to delete any associated FormBoss Database entire's you may have made via the Simple SQL module.

If you choose yes, FormBoss will attempt to remove the job files, the database job entry, and any job entire's (again, this only applied to database entries made via the Simple SQL module).

If you choose Cancel at this point, FormBoss will only delete the job files and database job info for the job, but NOT the database entire's. This means you can still go into the Entry Viewer and see this jobs entire's, though you will no longer see the job listed in the Job List in the FormBoss editor.

To remove the job now you will need to delete it form the Entry Viewer using the Delete Job From Database button.

One other important point is that if any error or notice is encountered during the delete process you will be notified. For example, if for some reason the job folder has been renamed or removed, you will receive a short message saying the job was removed from the database, but the job files were not.
