Recovering Data

 

 

Time is of the essence! If data has been accidentally changed or deleted, there is a two-week recovery window. It's important to contact Support as soon as possible.

There are cases where a user may unknowingly or accidentally change or delete data. It happens to the best of us and there's no need to panic. We can help! Common scenarios include:

  • The user did not clear their selection on a given page prior to working with a new selection
  • The user used the "jump" button from a selection on a sub-page and they jumped to a different page than they expected
  • Files attached to a record have been removed
Tip: Use the Deleted Record Research report to investigate missing records or as a simple way to identify the records you know were deleted in error and which to have restored.
