Deleting Slide ID Information through the SLIDE INFORMATION
Button
There are three methods for deleting slide identification information: deleting the slide
identification, case # or a specific slide. Deleting a slide identification enables the removal of a
large group of slides associated with a specific ID. Deleting a case # removes only the slides
associated with the specified case for the specified ID and allows other slides from the same ID
with a different case # to remain on the grid. Deleting a slide removes a specific slide from the grid.

This method deletes all slides associated with the selected slide identification.
