Delete or Clear a Service Record

Remove accidental record data while deciding whether the appointment should stay on the schedule.

3 min Updated September 17, 2026

Use service record deletion to remove accidental starts, duplicate records, training data, or a completed record that should not count toward the client’s data history.

A Service Record keeps an appointment with its notes and any live-session data or manually entered observations. If a live session is still ongoing, return to it and stop it first.

To find the record first, open the client’s Records tab.

Open the Delete Menu

Open the completed service record, tap the three-dot menu, then choose Delete record….

Choose What Should Stay

On Teams, you may be offered Keep appointment, remove data. On personal accounts, deletion removes the appointment and its data.

Delete service record choices for removing data or deleting appointment and data

Clearing or deleting a manually completed record removes its linked observations and notes, including observations that were recorded separately before being added to the appointment. To keep an observation and only remove it from this appointment, use Unlink observation in Edit observations instead.

Keep appointment, remove data

On eligible team records, use this when the appointment is real, but the data should be cleared.

The appointment stays on the schedule; its data, timeline, and notes are removed. Give a short reason when prompted.

Delete appointment and data

Use this when the appointment itself should not remain on the schedule.

The appointment and its linked data are removed together. This is the right choice for duplicate appointments, test appointments, or appointments created for the wrong client.


After Data Is Removed

When you keep the appointment and remove data, the appointment returns to a scheduled state and shows that collected data was removed. For a manually completed appointment, its original scheduled times are restored.

You can start data collection again from that appointment if the visit still needs a clean record.


Who Can Delete Records?

On solo accounts, the account owner can delete their own service records.

On team accounts:

  • Client editors, admins, and owners can delete completed or data-bearing records.
  • Trackers can remove their own same-day empty record when no data or notes were collected.
  • Trackers can delete their own appointment-only records when no session data is linked.

If you see this message, ask a client editor, admin, or owner to review the record.


When Not to Delete

If the session data is valid but needs a correction, edit the service record instead:

  • For live-session data, adjust counts or values in the Session Summary
  • For manually entered appointment data, use Edit observations and give a correction reason
  • Fix the appointment time from the appointment details
  • Add notes to explain clinical context

Delete only when the record or appointment should no longer be part of the client’s history.

If the record has been signed, use the signed-record correction workflow when available. See Signed Service Records.
