Displaying Deleted Documentation Objects in a Work Package or Work Item

You can display deleted structures and documents (including test steps) for the following already finished objects:

  • Requirements (just documentation structure assignments)

  • Work packages

  • Work items

  • Requests for change

  • Change documents

  • Defect corrections

As a prerequisite, the objects must have a final status, and the process structure and/or process documents must have been deleted.

The assigned structure that has been deleted in the meantime is marked with Structure deleted in the relevant object in the structure assignment area of the column branch.

Documents and test steps that have been assigned directly to the deleted structure are displayed and marked with Assignment deleted.

However, the link to the document is still active. Once you choose the link, the system opens the document version that was valid for the work package or work item when it was released to the productive branch (the historical version of the document is displayed with a time stamp not older than the completion time of the work package or work item).

This document/test step display behaviour applies to all work packages and work items with final status.
