Can expired applications of current board members be purged from OnBoardGOV?
I have noticed
that some of our expired applications in OnBoardGOV are for
currently serving board members. I do not want to delete their
applications, despite them being more than a year old because they
are active board and commission members. Would I need to renew their
application and then mark it as appointed? Would that keep it safe
from being marked as expired and accidentally getting purged?
The process for deleting validated applications is to first mark them for purge. You can do this one at a time or use the Actions menu to “bulk” mark for purge. Once they are marked, you would actually then run the Purge Applications from the Actions menu.
If you mark an application for purge, you can also “Unmark for Purge” and application either individually or in bulk.
When you finally decide to purge the applications, you are asked if you want to run a report. Then you have the option to export to csv, create a PDF of the applications, print the report or just purge them. Until you click “Purge”, nothing is deleted permanently.
We don’t care how many applications you keep on the system.
There is no wrong or right answer on how to handle this. It is your option to choose what works best for you.
