Once a dispatch has been created, it cannot be deleted. However, you can close a dispatch as long as that dispatch has no outstanding tasks. When dispatches are closed, they’re stored in the Closed panel, where they’re retained for a certain amount of time specified by your administrator. Closed dispatches are sent to Command Center as activities. If the dispatch is marked as requiring a report when it's closed, it's sent to the Command Center app as an open activity.
