Dear Jeff,

We are a team of 4 new users who need to work on a sharable review (ID: 11522, titled “CRP and ES”). Unfortunately, we made mistakes during the RIS Import step and have imported 4 wrong RIS source files.

I have selected the option “delete” several times in the attempt to get rid of the four wrong RIS, but these do not get removed completely and keep clashing with the one correct RIS source file we need to work on (titled: CPRs+Ess_17Feb17-ROMINA, made of only 1336 hits)

Would it be possible for you to help us removing completely and permanently from the sharable review ID: 11522, titled “CRP and ES” the four wrong RIS source files?

The only RIS source file needed there is this: CPRs+Ess_17Feb17-ROMINA, made of 1336 hits

We thank you in advance for your support!

Romina, in on behalf of the CRP and ES review team

Hello Romina,

The reason you are unable to permanently delete those sources is that they contain master items from your duplicate checking. What you will need to do is to carry out a full reset of your duplicate checking. This shouldn't be a problem if the only source you want remaining is the 'CPRs+Ess_17Feb17-ROMINA' source. If there is only source remaining then the only possbile duplicates will within that one source. 

You can can carry out a full reset of your duplicate checking in the 'Advanced/Manual' tab that is in the duplicate checking window. This reset will remove all of the duplicate checking information allowing you to permanently delete all of your sources (excluding the one you wish to keep).

If you need any help with carrying out the reset please let me know.

Best regards,

Jeff

Dear Jeff,

Many thanks for answering to my question. I have done as instructed and applied the reset of duplicate checking in the 'Advanced/Manual' tab and then have went into the box left hand side, clicked on Sources and there clicked on the Delete button for the RIS files I need to remove. This however has not removed them from the shareable review. 

They are still appearing in the Sources section on the left hand side.  As we are four people working in this shareable review, to avoid mistakes and hiccups during the process, is there a way to completely erase them so that no trace is left of the wrong RIS files in this review? We would need to have  only one RIS file - the one needed.


Many thanks!

Romina

Hello Romina,

Deleting sources from a review is a two step process.

The first step is what you have done so far which is to mark the sources as deleted so the items do not show up in your review.

The second step is to permanently delete the source. This is done in the 'Add/Manager Sources' window. (you can access this window through the 'Manage Sources / Add New' button in the 'Sources' tab).

In the 'Add/Manage Sources' window make sure you are in the  'Manage Sources' tab. From here you should select the source from the right-hand side of the screen and then click the button with the red 'x' to permanently delete the source. This operation is not reversible so be sure you have selected the correct source.

If you have any questions abut this please let me know.

Best regards,

Jeff
