How to inactivate or delete additional fields in the library

Custom book detail fields can be inactivated or deleted when they are no longer needed.

Note: A custom field that has already been used to record book details cannot be deleted. It can only be inactivated, so existing book records are preserved.

Inactivate a field

1. Go to Menu → Academics → Library → Manage Book Additional Details.
2. Click Edit next to the field.
3. Select the Inactive status.
4. Click Update.

Inactive fields are moved to a separate inactive fields section.
