How to Remove an Officer from the Drop Down Lists in Informant

When an officer leaves the department, you can take his/her name off of the drop down lists in your records so that he/she is no longer able to be added to new records.  This can be done easily without compromising the integrity of your existing records in the system.  Follow the steps below:

1) Log into Informant.
2) From the File menu, choose Open > Personnel.  
3) Search for the officer using any of the available search criteria.
4) Highlight the officer's record and click Open.
5)  Click on the General tab.
6)  In the Employment Status field, change the officer's status from Active to something in the list that means he/she is no longer employed there.  An example would be Past Employee.
7)  Click Save.

NOTE:  Each department's list may vary so as long as the drop down option that you choose to represent a past employee is not setup as an Active Status, then the officer will be removed from your drop down list.
