Audience: System Administrators
Overview
When a contract is deleted in Contract Eagle, it is soft-deleted, meaning it can still be restored by the Contract Eagle Support team if needed.
The Purge Contracts function allows System Administrators to permanently remove these previously deleted contracts. Once purged, a contract and all its related information (including documents) are permanently erased and cannot be restored.
To permanently delete contracts, go to the Settings > Purge Contracts screen. Here’s what you’ll see and how it works:
Filters and Search
You can narrow down which contracts to purge by applying filters:
Contract IDs – enter one or more contract IDs separated by commas.
Status Type – select status type to filter soft-deleted contracts.
Contract Type – filter by specific contract types.
Business Unit – filter by any Business Units. This will include a contract whether it is selected as the Primary, Additional, or View-only business unit.
Contract List
Contracts are displayed in a paged list, with up to 15 contracts per page (the maximum that can be purged in one operation).
Use the Select checkbox to choose which contracts to purge, or click Select All to select all listed contracts.
Click Clear Selection to deselect any selected contracts.
Permanently Delete Selected
Once the desired contracts are selected, click the Permanently Delete Selected button to purge them.
Warning: Purged contracts cannot be restored, and all related data, including documents, will be permanently deleted.
