Delete and Retire

Introduction

TACTIC provides many ways to delete and retire items directly from the view. Retiring is TACTIC's way of marking an item so that it does not appear in any searches, but allows the user to bring it back if necessary. The methods to delete and retire an item are described below.

Deleting from the Context Menu

To delete an item from the view, first put a check mark in the box next to the item you want deleted. Then, right click anywhere on the row to bring up the context menu. Selecting the "Delete" option will delete the object from the view and from the database.

Deleting from the Gear Menu

Alternatively, the gear menu can be used to delete an item from a view.

  1. Put a check mark in the box next to the item.

  2. In the tool shelf and click on the gear to bring up the gear menu.

  3. Selecting the "Delete" option will delete the object from the view and from the database.

Note

If an item is deleted by mistake, to undo this action, go to the top gear menu, select Edit -> Undo Last Server Transaction.

Retiring from the Context Menu

To mark an item as "Retired", first put a check mark in the box next to the item. Then, right click anywhere on the row to bring up the context menu. Selecting the "Retire" option will mark the object as retired and filter it out from the view.

note: Items will still exist and can be brought back. The next section will shows how to view items that have been marked as "Retired".

Retiring from the Gear Menu

To retire an item from the view using the gear menu:

  1. Put a check mark in the box next to the item.

Showing Retired Items

When an item is "retired", it has simply been marked as "retired" in the database. The item still exists in the database and can be brought back. To show items that have been retired in a view, go the any column header and right click. This will bring up a context menu. Select "Show Retired".

Note

The items marked as "retired" appear highlighted in red.
