Delete Marked Customers
Description
Operations perform maintenance and management functions on your database. You can define and run an operation immediately, or you can define and save an operation to be run as Needed. When run, the Delete Marked Customers operation removes all marked customer records from the AlphaSports database. Follow these steps to create a comparable operation.
