Removing an Area Managing Areas
Polycom, Inc. 507
Consider which of these approaches is right for the area:
If you wish to delete an area and all of its resources, then:
1 Backup your data.
2 Use the Delete action to delete the area and its resources.
If you wish to delete the area, but keep all of its resources in the Resource
Manager system, then:
1 Use the Move Contents action to move all of the area’s resources to
another area or to no area. Move Contents will also delete the area from
which contents are moved.
If you wish to keep some of the area’s resources, but delete the rest, then:
1 Edit the resources you would like to keep and reassign them to other
areas or to no area.
2 Backup your data.
3 Use the Delete action to delete the area and its remaining resources.
Moving the Contents of an Area
If you wish to delete the area, but keep all of its resources in the Resource
Manager system, then you can move the contents of the area.
When you move the contents of an area:
• All resources will now belong to the specified destination (an area or no
area).
• The area and any custom logos are deleted.
• Any users who managed the moved area will not be automatically
allowed to manage the new area. If you want the moved users to manage
the destination area, you will need to explicitly edit the user to do so.
Deleting an Area and its Resources
If you no long need an area and its resources, you can delete the area and its
resources from the RealPresence Resource Manager system.
Before deleting an area, you must manually un-assign any network devices
and sites from the area. You should also verify that there are no ongoing
conferences or area users involved in a conference belonging to another area.
When you delete an area, the following actions take place:
• All future conferences are cancelled.
• All past conferences are associated with no area (None).
• All pool orders are disassociated from the area.
