Deleting or Inactivating Resources

To delete resources (instructors, aircraft), they must first be made inactive. In most cases, this the only step that you should take. MyFBO does not charge a fee for inactive resources, but all the data linked to inactive resources remains in the system for future retrieval. To inactivate a resource:

1. Select Manage Tab.
2. Select Resource Management.
3. Change Resource Data for selected resource.
4. Caution: Resources may have active reservations! If available at the bottom of the page, review the options  to "List future reservations" and "Reassign future reservations" before you make the resource inactive.
5. Select the Availability Dates option.
6. Make the Not Available After date a date before today's date and then Update Resource. The resource will then be inactive, which means it does not appear at all for scheduling.  
7. MyFBO Premium and Advanced Edition Subscribers should stop here. Premium and Advanced Edition Subscribers should never delete resources, just inactivate them. Once a resource is deleted, related data is gone and cannot be retrieved!
8. If you are absolutely sure that you must delete a resource, select the Availability Dates option again. Now that the resource is inactive, there will be a Delete Resource option.
