Bulk delete views & collections
We try to make it as easy as possible to add new views and collections. It's also very easy to delete views & collections. You can delete collections and views one by one or if you do a major clean up you can also bulk delete them.
Bulk delete views
Login to the Magine Pro Console
Go to Content --> Views
Click on More options --> Bulk delete
Select the views you want to delete
Click on delete
Confirm the deletion
That action will delete the views but not the collections that were assigned to the view.
Bulk delete collections
Login to the Magine Pro Console
Go to Content --> Collections
Click on More options --> Bulk delete
Select the collections you want to delete
Click on delete
Confirm the deletion
When you bulk delete a genre browse collections the attached collections remain in our system. You need to delete the attached collections separately in a second clean up round.
Best practice
Once deleted there is no way to recover the views or collections. So before you delete views and collections do the following:
Check in the content structure which collections are currently not included in any view
Give your views and collections proper names so that it's easier to identify the collections and views you want to keep
If you do a major clean up delete containers first e.g. views and genre browse collection before collections
How to avoid collection duplicates
If you want to avoid that you end up with multiple watchlists, popular genre collections etc. choose "create custom view" when you create a new view. If you select any of our templates the system will also generate a set of useful collections. These are helpful if you are setting up your Startpage but you will most likely don't need them for other views.
