How to bulk delete or archive categories

Club Admin · Bahasa Melayu below

Cleaning up old categories (past academic years, discontinued programs, sports you no longer offer) keeps the sidebar tidy.

Archive vs delete

• Archive (recommended) — category becomes inactive; historical data intact; can be reactivated
• Delete — irreversible; category record removed. Use only for accidents.

Bulk archive

1. Sidebar → Categories → filter by season / age group / etc.
2. Tick multiple → Bulk Actions → Archive
3. Confirm — categories move to Inactive filter

Effects: - No new trainee enrollments - Existing enrollments deactivated - Coach assignments end - Historical sessions + attendance + assessments intact

Bulk delete

1. Categories → filter → tick → Bulk Actions → Delete
2. Confirm the count (AAU Club Manager asks twice for irreversible actions)

Restrictions: - Categories with active enrollments → AAU Club Manager warns; you must remove trainees first (or archive instead) - Categories with historical data → AAU Club Manager strongly suggests archive over delete

Unarchive

1. Categories → filter Inactive
2. Open category → Reactivate
3. Existing trainees can be re-enrolled; sessions can be scheduled again

When to actually delete

• Category was a test / typo
• Category was auto-created and unused (AAU Club Manager creates default_type categories automatically — some are safe to prune)
• Merger: two duplicate categories → archive one, redirect trainees to the other

Category history log

• Sidebar → Categories → Audit Log — every category create / archive / delete / reactivate with who + when + why

Cara bulk archive / padam kategori

Archive vs Delete

• Archive (disyor) — inaktif, data kekal, boleh reactivate
• Delete — irreversible; kekurangan sahaja

Bulk archive

1. Menu sisi → Categories → filter
2. Tanda → Bulk Actions → Archive
3. Confirm

Kesan: tak boleh enrol baru, enrollment sedia ada deaktif, sesi lama kekal.

Bulk delete

Bulk Actions → Delete. Confirm dua kali.

Sekatan: ada enrollment aktif → buang dulu; ada sejarah → syor archive.

Unarchive

Filter Inactive → buka → Reactivate.

Bila padam betul-betul

Test/typo, auto-created tak diguna, duplikat merger.

Audit

Categories → Audit Log.
