Delete domain
The purpose of deleting a domain is to remove outdated or unnecessary domains from the CODING application, ensuring a well-organized and up-to-date database of domains for accurate medical coding.
Important
If the domain is system-created (that is, created in Study Designer), it has the System label next to it and cannot be deleted. In this case, the Delete option is not available.
