How to Delete a Custom Recipe in Nutrogen

This article explains how Nutrogen Customer Admins can delete custom recipes they have created within the platform

Updated over a month ago

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Navigate to the Recipes Section: From the main menu, go to Nutrition > Recipes. This will display the "Recipes" screen with tabs for "Custom Recipes", "Dietitian Approved Recipes", and "Online Recipes." (Screenshot at 0:00 shows the Recipes screen)

  2. Access Custom Recipes: Ensure you are in the "Custom Recipes" tab. These are recipes created by users within your Nutrogen platform.

  3. Understand Recipe Deletion Permissions:

    • You can only delete recipes that you personally created or copied and modified.

    • Recipes created by other users within the system CANNOT be deleted by you, even though they may appear in your "Custom Recipes" list. This prevents accidental deletion of shared recipes.

    • Recipes from online sources or "Dietician Approved Recipes" also cannot be deleted as these are pulled into the system (0:13-0:16).

  4. Identify Your Editable Recipes:

    • To delete a recipe, first, identify recipes that you created or copied. Other team members recipes will show in your custom recipes but there is no delete button on them. (0:21-0:42)

    • You can copy other team members' recipes.

  5. Open the Recipe Details: Click on the recipe you wish to delete. This opens the "Recipe Details" window.

  6. Locate the Delete Button:

    • If the recipe was created or copied by you, a trashcan icon "Delete" button will be located in the top right corner of the "Recipe Details" window. (Screenshot at 0:47 shows the delete button)

    • If the recipe was created by another user, there will be NO delete button displayed. (Screenshot at 0:41 shows the lack of the delete button)

  7. Confirm Deletion:

    • Click the "Delete" button (trashcan icon).

    • A confirmation window will appear, asking "Are you sure you want to delete this recipe? This action can't be undone. Type Delete to confirm."

  8. Type "Delete" and Confirm: In the text box provided, type the word "Delete" (case-sensitive).

  9. Click "Confirm Delete": Click the "Confirm Delete" button. (Screenshot at 1:01-1:06 shows the confirm delete button)

  10. Deletion Confirmation: A pop-up message "Recipe Deleted, The recipe has been successfully deleted" will appear. Click "Done" to close this message. (Screenshot at 1:07 shows the confirmation message)

  11. Verify Deletion: The recipe will now be removed from your "Custom Recipes" list. (Screenshot at 1:11 shows the missing recipe).
