How to Delete and Restore Person, Opportunity, Note and Task Records
Updated over a month ago

We know you have a massive amount of contact data in Mercury Nexus, but chances are it’s full of invalid email addresses, incomplete customer contact data and duplicates. Regular maintenance of your database is essential to keeping it clean.

Person, Opportunity, Task, Note and Task Template records can all be deleted. But we know sometimes deletion errors can occur, so we move these records to the Recycle Bin in case you need to restore them.

When deleted these records are moved to the Recycle Bin in case of a deletion error.

Note: You cannot restore the following items

  • Client Centre

  • Questionnaires

  • Doc Requests

  • Attachments

  • Calculations

Contact the Mercury Helpdesk for these items if required.

How do I delete a Person or Opportunity record?

Note: There is no option to permanently delete records from the Recycle Bin for Compliance reasons.

  1. In the CRM app, navigate to People or Opportunities

  2. Highlight the record or multiple records that you wish to delete.

  3. Click the Delete button and confirm by clicking Ok.

Note: If a new Opportunity is not given an Opportunity name the record is sent to the Recycle Bin automatically. Always give your Opportunities a name to avoid the record being lost.

How do I restore a Person or Opportunity record?

Records which are deleted in error can be restored back to your database. You can restore the following types of records: Person, Opportunity, Tasks, Notes and Task Templates. To do this:

  1. Open the Admin app and select Data from the left-hand menu.

  2. Navigate to Recycle Bin in the top menu.

  3. Highlight the record or multiple records that you wish to restore.

  4. Click Restore and confirm by clicking Ok.

Note: Attachments in the opportunity record, Merge Templates and Document Uploads in Document Requests are not currently sent to the Recycle Bin.

If you have accidentally deleted signed documents, such as the Credit Proposal Disclosure (CPD) and Summary of Requirements (SoR), you can download them again from the Client Centre.
