Alternatives for deleting work items?


Cole Hopkins (813) | asked Oct 16 '14, 3:27 p.m.
If I can't delete a work item in RTC, what is the recommended alternative practice for deleting? I've been having trouble coming up with a solution to getting  temporary or unnecessary items "Out of my way".

It is possible to delete a work item in RTC. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_5.0.0/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_deleting_work_items_web.html?cp=SSYMRC_5.0.0&lang=en

If there is an issue due to not having the right permissions then one alternative is to define a trash team area and assign them to that trash area.

Thank you! That's exactly what I needed.

Also, I'm working with a team but only I have the permissions so they can't delete things. Is there currently any way to give them the permissions for deleting these items?

Yes, of course there is. It is part of the permissions and roles section of the process configuration for a project area. You can filter permissions by actions or roles. There are roles like Team Member, Stakeholder, etc out of the box. You just have to figure out how to configure your roles and the permissions to actions that go with them.

Here is a tutorial for configuring process http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_5.0.0/com.ibm.team.concert.tutorial.doc/topics/tut_customize_process_intro.html?lang=en
