A punch item can be deleted at any time, in any status. This is different than RFIs because RFIs are official contract documents, while punch items are not. Punch deletion cannot be initiated from the Viewer, but if the punch is deleted from the punch list screen, the stamp will be removed from the document that it is attached to.
Punch deletion process
- Open the Punch list screen
- On the opened menu click [Delete] button beside a specific punch (which you want to delete)
Application will display a confirmation message stating “Are you sure you want to delete Punch”
- Click [Yes] button to delete the Punch.
A confirmation message stating that Punch deletion is successful is displayed to the user.
After deletion, the application displays the deletion action as an activity on the Project activity > Document activity screen.
