There may be times when you will want to delete multiple records via a selection result. These records may be specific donation, pledge, memo, etc. records, or if the source table for the selection was the Header table, the records would be entire donor accounts. So this feature should be used with great caution and normally only for very surgical removal of data. You can delete all of the records referenced by a selection result by first opening the Selection Result window (by clicking on the Results icon of the DonorQuest toolbar), highlighting the selection, then clicking Selections, Mass Data Operations Via, Mass Data Deletion Via. If the source table of the selection is the Header table, you will be deleting entire donor accounts with this action so you will have to go through multiple confirmation prompts.

 

Note that the Delete button on the Selection Results window does not delete donor data, it simply removes the selection result.
