Editing or Deleting Journals

To edit the text of the journal note: You can only edit a journal’s text if you wrote the journal, if you did not email it, and only on the day you wrote it. The next day or once it is emailed, the journal becomes uneditable; this makes it a historically reliable record. To edit the text, from the Journal screen> Edit> Text of Journal. If a journal can’t be edited, you can still add additional text to the subject by right-clicking on journal entry and selecting Edit> Add Entry to Highlighted Journal or by adding an entry to the thread.

To edit the department, activity, or security level for the journal: Click the Edit button and choose the appropriate option. You can also right-click the journal and choose the corresponding option from the menu.

To delete a journal: You can only delete a journal if you wrote it, and you can only delete it on the day you wrote it. After that, the journal becomes uneditable; this makes it a historically reliable record. To delete a journal, select it in the list and press the DEL key, or click Edit and choose Delete Journal. A level 7 can delete emails, otherwise once a journal is sent it cannot be deleted.
