4. Deletion Procedure Marking an item for deletion involves just a few basic steps the following steps assume the ADMINISTRATOR level is accessed Insert the Setup card into the Archive Memory slot on the CVIM module Access the appropriate menu s so the item to be deleted is currently displayed on the monitor screen Activate the delete function pick the trash can icon so the top of the trash can is open This indicates the delete function is active u Trash can y icon open icon is green when open Delete function enabled Pick the item s to mark for deletion Marked items are highlighted with an orange border Nominal 4 Bus Gray Previous Cory To unmark a marked item pick the item again To deactivate the menu delete function when finished pick the trash can icon so that it appears that the top of the trash can is closed Trash can icon closed gt Delete function icon is red when closed disabled Here are some additional considerations when marking items for deletion Paired Menu Items Paired menu items occupying a single line such as Copy Paste and Previous Next should be deleted as a pair Otherwise menu items may overlap when displayed Range of Effect If an item which is marked for deletion is part of a menu which appears in more than one place it is deleted from each menu 5 2 Chapter 5 Modifying the CVIM Menus
