Managing Versions, Items, and Paths › Remove an Item

Remove an Item

The remove item process lets you logically delete selected items from a view. When you remove an item from a view, the item is not deleted; the remove item process creates a new version tagged as removed (D). This version has attributes like other versions; you can view this version through the Find Version dialog or in the version view, but not in the item view.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the item you want to remove.
2. Right-click the item, and select remove item process from the shortcut menu.

   The remove item process dialog appears and displays the item name you selected.

   Note: The lowercase italic text indicates the process dialog name by the process type, since the process execution dialog names differ to each site.

3. Specify a placement option:

   Trunk

   Creates a trunk version for refactoring changes.

   Note: This option is identical to the check-out for update process.

   Branch

   Creates a branch version for refactoring changes.

   Note: This option is identical to the check-out for concurrent update process.

4. (Optional) Remove an item from the list by selecting an item and clicking Remove (the minus [-] sign).
5. Select a package from the Package drop-down list, or click the Package button and use the Select a Package dialog to select a package.

   The package is associated with the removed item.

6. (Optional) Click the tabs to enter and view information:

   Comment

   Specifies comments.

   Note

   Provides notes about the process.

   Click OK.

   The removed item is a new version and appears in the version view and in the associated package's versions list.
