Trash bin

The Trash Bin in the Requirements and Systems Portal is a reference tool that provides visibility into the items that have been deleted from your project. Unlike traditional "trash" or "recycle bin" features, items in the Requirements and Systems Portal Trash Bin cannot be restored directly within the application. The primary function of the Trash Bin is to review and keep track of deleted objects for manual restoration if necessary.

Accessing the Trash Bin

Navigation Panel: The settings icon on the Requirements and Systems Portal is located on the lower left-hand side of the screen.
Trash Bin: In the settings menu, select the ‘Trash Bin' option. The screenshot provided illustrates where the Trash Bin is located in the Requirements and Systems Portal settings.
