Data Recycle Bin
Introduction
Feature(s)
Data Recycle is equivalent to a data transfer station which can retain the deleted data in the form within limited days. The feature is applicable to the scenario where you need to recover the data that was mistakenly deleted, or permanently delete the data you no longer need.
Application Scenario(s)
- In the case of employee management, if you delete employee information mistakenly because of improper operation, recover the deleted information via Data Recycle.
- In the case of product management, if certain product data is no longer needed because the product is no longer produced, permanently delete the data.
With Data Recycle, you can handle the complicated situation during data processing, thus making data processing more reasonable.
Preview
1. Take the Product Information form as an example: When viewing the product data, if you delete all by mistake, recover the deleted data in Data Recycle.
2. If some data is no longer needed, permanently delete it in Data Recycle.
