Deleting objects

When you delete an object using IBM® Rational® DOORS® Web Access, the object is soft-deleted, which means that it is only visible in views that show deletions. You can restore a soft-deleted object.

Before you begin

Make sure that you have an Edit package. Your current package is displayed in the header of the web client workspace.

About this task

A pop-up menu is displayed when you click the arrow display edit menu icon in the upper right corner of any attribute in the grid. The arrow is displayed in each attribute in the current row, and when you hover the cursor over any attribute in the grid. The delete operation applies to the whole object, not the attribute where you open the pop-up menu.

Procedure

  1. Open the pop-up menu from any attribute of the object that you want to delete.
  2. Click Delete.

What to do next

If a view is configured in the Rational DOORS client to show deletions, you can restore an item that is soft-deleted. After you deleted an object, open the pop-up menu at the deleted object and click Undelete.
