Add ability to see details for deleted (canceled) projects

In WorldServer, if a project was canceled, we could still open and see details of the project and any information logged as to why it was canceled. In TE, once a project is deleted, it is like it never existed, except if you run a report to see deleted projects. You cannot open the project to see any details. Since canceling a project does not exist in TE, our assumption would be that delete would work the same way.

  • To add some clarification on this idea, I think we need both a cancel button and a delete button. There are some projects that we need to fully delete as they are not needed and no work was performed. If a project has work performed, we want to cancel it so any costs are still reflected in the reporting. If we only add the ability to see details of deleted projects, we still run into the issue with reporting being inaccurate as not all deleted projects should be in the report.

    With both deleted and canceled projects, we want to be able to see the details of the projects.

  • Any updates on this? This is an important feature we lost from WorldServer. We had a major issue recently where support deleted projects that had work completed from TE which now causes our reporting to have incomplete data. Including deleted projects is not an option as there are many deleted projects that were correctly deleted. If the project was able to be canceled instead of deleted, we would likely would not have had this issue.
