Deleting Or Restoring A Task

Deleting A Task

Any window that displays the Delete Task, or Delete Selected Task, hyperlinks will delete the Task record the window is working with.

Task Deletion Hyperlinks

All of that task record's child records (Subtasks, Work Sessions, Notes, and Data Link Files) will also be deleted.

However, when you try to delete a task that has child records linked to it, you'll see a Deletion Confirmation dialog box pop up, asking you to confirm the deletion.

Confirm Task Deletion Dialog Box

To delete a task that's being displayed in an "Index" window such as the Idea's Tasks Index Window, you'll need to single click on the task's record entry first, and then click the Delete Selected Task hyperlink.

Idea's Tasks Index Window

When you're deleting a Task that's in a Task Window, just click on the Delete Task hyperlink.

Restore A Deleted Task

Deleted Task records can be restored using the Idea's Tasks Index Window, or the Tasks Index Window. The process is the same for either window.

Start by clicking on the Restore Deleted Tasks hyperlink.

Click the Restore Deleted Tasks hyperlink in the Tasks Index Window.

Now search the list of deleted tasks for the task you want to restore and single click on its record entry.

Then click on the Restore Selected Tasks hyperlink.

Click the Restore Selected Tasks hyperlink in the Tasks Index Window.

The Select Type Of Parent dialog box pops up and it wants to know which parent Idea or Task record you want to restore the deleted task to.

Click either the Link To Idea or Link To Task button.

The Select Type Of Parent dialog box asks you what type of record, Idea or Task you want to restore the deleted task to.

Clicking either of these hyperlinks displays another dialog box that lets you search for the parent Idea or Task to link the deleted task record to.

After you've found that parent record, just double click anywhere on its record entry and the deleted Task record and all of its child records will be restored. Then the dialog box closes and you're done.

The Select Type Of Parent dialog box asks you what type of record, Idea or Task you want to restore the deleted task to.

Or, if you've copied the ID number of the parent record to the computer's "Clipboard", then paste that ID number into the Use This Task ID (or Idea ID) field and press the Enter key.

The dialog box will close and you're done.

The Use This Task ID/Idea ID field.
