1. How to Discard a Card?
There are two ways to discard a card in Businessmap — from the Context menu and the Card settings.
1.1. From the Context Menu
Open the card Context menu of the card you want to delete and select the "Discard" icon.
The system will ask for your confirmation before deleting the card.
1.2. From the Card Settings Menu?
Open the card you want to discard and select the card settings icon in the top right corner of the card. Click the Discard icon in the panel to erase the card.
2. How to Restore a Card?
If you have discarded a card by mistake and you want to undo the action, please follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to Notifications at the top right side of your account.
Step 2: Click on See All to open the panel that logs all card-related actions chronologically.
Step 3: All cards are stored in a table format. You can use the filters on the top of the panel to easily and quickly find the card you want to restore.
TIP: When looking for discarded cards, select “Discarded” from the Notification type dropdown to narrow down your search.
Step 4: Scroll to the right side of the panel, and you will see the Restore card button under the Actions header. Select the Restore button, and the card will be made available in the same position (board, column, swimlane) it was before deleting it.
You can see this in action in this short video:
Note: When a card is discarded (or archived), its local cycle time stops counting and shows the time spent in its last location before it was discarded (or archived). If the card is restored (unarchived), the local cycle time will reset.
3. How to Permanently Delete a Card?
To permanently delete a card, you have to discard it first. After discarding the card, click the notifications setting and open the “All Activities” tab from the See All button, as you would if you wanted to restore it.
Find the card you wish to permanently delete and click on its Card ID from the left-most column. This will open the discarded card. Navigate to the Settings menu in the top right of the card from the 3 dots icon. There you will find the Permanently delete option.
You can also open the discarded card from the Advanced search and open the same menu to permanently delete it.
