Protecting a Story from Being Deleted
Stories are periodically deleted or purged from the database. Your system administrator
determines the interval between purges. To prevent a story from being purged, you can place it
on hold. You can also remove its hold status when the story is no longer needed so the story will
be purged.
To protect a story from being deleted:
1. Open the queue containing the story with which you want to work.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. Click a story to select it.
3. Select Story > Hold. This places a check mark by the Hold option in the menu.
Now the story cannot be purged by the system.
To remove the "hold" on a story:
1. Open the queue containing the story with which you want to work.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
