Number Inventory entries can be deleted in bulk by using the INI Purge Tool. High level administrators with access to the view called INI_Purge_Tool_View can expose this tool for user by updating menu layouts and access profiles for administrators.

Important

This Tool has been designed to remove DNs without taking into account the Status of the DN, so that DNs can be completely removed and then redeployed. In normal circumstances you cannot delete a DN if it is in use by a Phone.

For example, DNs may have been deployed incorrectly at Site level instead of at Customer level. You can therefore "Purge" all the DNs entries at the Site and re-add them at Customer level. The DN Audit Tool then needs to be run to update the DNs to the correct Status.

Inspect the log from the Transaction menu - the Action carried out is a Bulk Delete from the Internal Number Inventory. Deleted numbers are removed and are not available from the Internal Number Inventory list view.

Note

Where more than 1000 entries are to be purged, the transaction will show sub-transactions deleting the entries in chunks of 1000. A successful sub-transaction then shows the message per chunk: "[1000 / 1000] were deleted successfully".
