Recycle Bin

Settings > Recycle Bin

The AgileApps Cloud platform provides added peace of mind with the ability to recover deleted data from the Recycle Bin.

When a record is deleted, the record and all the related information are moved into a temporary holding area called the Recycle Bin. Records in the Recycle Bin are held for 30 days before they are automatically and permanently deleted.

For example, if a user deletes an Account then that account will be moved into the Recycle Bin, including all Contacts, Contracts, Campaigns, and Events that are related to the account.

Users in Roles with Manage Recycle Bin permission rights enabled can: View or permanently delete records owned by the user's team(s) (including secondary team(s) View or permanently delete records in any child team of the user's team(s)

What Related Information Is Deleted?

The following related information is also moved into Recycle Bin when a user deletes a record:

Object Inheritance

Inherited Objects have special behavior in Delete actions.

Delete Records from the Parent Object

When a record is deleted from the Parent Object, the Recycling Configuration setting is applied as follows:

• Child records in an Object Inheritance relationship are recycled base on the Recycle Deleted Records setting in Properties of the Child object
• Parent records in an Object Inheritance relationship are recycled based on the Recycle Deleted Records setting in Properties of the Parent object

Delete Records from the Child Object

When a record is deleted from...	Child record is...	...based on this Recycling Configuration
Parent Object	Deleted Forever	Parent Object: Hard Delete Child Object: n/a
Parent Object	Moved to the Recycle Bin	Parent Object: Soft Delete Child Object: n/a
Child Object	Moved to the Recycle Bin	Child Object: Soft Delete Parent Object: n/a
Child Object	Deleted Forever	Child Object: Hard Delete Parent Object: n/a

Grid Section

Grid sections create a relationship between two objects. When the Object and the related object (Grid Section) have different Recycling Configuration (Soft Delete/Hard Delete) settings, the following guidelines apply.

Deletion guidelines for Grid Sections apply to Custom Objects, and do not apply to Built-in Objects or [[CRM Objects]

In these examples, the related objects are named as follows:

• Grid Section Object
• Base Object

Delete Records from a Grid Section

When a record is deleted from...	Grid Section record is...	...based on this Recycling Configuration
Grid Section Object	Moved to the Recycle Bin	Grid Section Object: Soft Delete Base Object: n/a
Grid Section Object	Deleted Forever	Grid Section Object: Hard Delete Base Object: n/a
Base Object	Deleted Forever	Grid Section Object: Soft Delete Base Object: Hard Delete
Base Object	Moved to the Recycle Bin	Grid Section Object: Soft Delete Base Object: Soft Delete
Base Object	Deleted Forever	Grid Section Object: Hard Delete Base Object: n/a

Impact on Data

Merging Records

When two records are merged, the secondary record is moved to Recycle Bin, but all related information will not be moved to recycle bin. Instead, related information from the secondary record is moved to the primary record.

If a user tries to restore the secondary record, it will be restored but without all its related information.

Importing Data

Lets say, we deleted an account named "ABC" and it went into recycle bin. Now, next day if someone imports the same account "ABC", then a new account "ABC" will be created.Now, if user restores the deleted account "ABC", in that case the account will be restored and will not merge with an existing account. Therefore, now there will be two accounts with same name "ABC".

Effect on Data Policy Actions

Data policies will be automatically re-ordered when an action is deleted. When an action is restored, it will be added to the end of the process queue. For example, if these named actions are in the data policy:

1. "ABC"
2. "XYZ"
3. "JKL"

Deleting action named "XYZ", will result in the following actions:

1. "ABC"
2. "JKL"

Restoring "XYZ" will adjust the order to the following:

1. "ABC"
2. "JKL"
3. "XYZ"

Impact on Administrators

Effect on Role Based management and Teams

When viewing the Recycle Bin, users will only be able to see records that they have deleted, unless they have Manage Recycle Bin permission.

Effect on Search

Records in the Recycle Bin will not be found during search.

Admin Access

If the administrator has Manage Recycle Bin permission, they can restore any record that they see from the Recycle Bin, regardless of who it was that deleted the record.

Audit Log

The audit log will keep logs for when records are deleted forever and restored.

Purge Deleted Records

Every Friday, the platform will automatically and permanently delete all the records that were put into the Recycle Bin 30-days before.
