In Cayuse Proposals, the creator of a proposal is automatically granted the ability to delete it. Anyone who has been granted the delete permission for a proposal (see Permissions) can also delete that proposal.
If the permissions on a proposal have been changed, the creator may not be able to delete it.
To delete a proposal:
- Open the Proposals List.
- Look for the proposal in the list. If you don't see it, you can search for it or select Show Recently Viewed under the search box.
- Click the
icon to the far right of the proposal. If you don't see this icon, you can't delete the proposal. - You'll see a message asking you to confirm that you really want to delete the proposal. If you are sure, click Delete Proposal. Otherwise, click Cancel.
Even if you have permissions to delete a proposal, there are three reasons you may not see the delete icon:
- The proposal is currently being edited. Proposals currently being edited cannot be deleted.
- The proposal has linked subawards, or the subaward proposal is linked to a prime. You must unlink the subaward before you can delete the proposal or the subaward. You can delete a subaward during the unlinking process.
- The proposal is paired with a Cayuse SP proposal. You will need to un-pair the proposals from the Cayuse SP side, then delete the proposal.
Deleted proposals are retained in the system until Permanent Proposal Delete occurs (or indefinitely if it is not active), but are no longer visible or editable. If you need to restore a mistakenly deleted proposal, request help from your local Cayuse Proposals system
