Deleted requests
The Deleted requests list lets administrators recover requests that were deleted by mistake. Deletion in Weissr Capex Management is a soft delete, so a deleted request is hidden from normal views but kept in the database. This page shows every soft-deleted request, lets you find the one you need, and restores it to the exact state it was in before deletion. It is managed in Administration > Capex Management > Tables > Deleted requests.
Who can use this feature
Only Superusers can access the Deleted requests list, restore deleted requests, and view the restore audit log. Users without the Superuser role will not see this feature in CM Administration.
Where to find the deleted requests list
Location: Administration > Capex Management > Deleted requests
The list displays all soft-deleted requests in your environment. Each entry shows:
Request name: the name of the deleted request.
Deleted by: the user who performed the deletion.
Deleted at: the date and time of deletion.
Project state category: the Project state category the request was in at the time it was deleted.
📌 Note: A Project state category is the high-level grouping a request belongs to in its workflow, including registration, monitoring, follow-up or closed. Showing the category at the time of deletion helps you confirm you are restoring the correct request.
Find a deleted request with filtering and search
To narrow the list and locate a specific request:
Filter by Project state category: show only requests that were in a particular category when they were deleted.
Search by request name: type part of the request name to match entries in the list.
💡 Tip: Combine the category filter with a name search when several requests share similar names. For example, filter to the approval category and then search for the request name to confirm you have the right one before restoring.
How to restore a deleted request
Restoring a request brings it back to the state it was in before deletion, including its data and its position in the workflow.
Go to Administration > Capex Management > Deleted requests
Use the filter or search to find the request you want to recover.
Select the request in the list.
Click Restore.
If the request had additional requests, review the confirmation that lists them, then confirm the restore.
Once restored, the request returns to its previous workflow position and reappears in the normal request views. It is removed from the deleted requests list.
How restore works for additional requests
When a main request is deleted, its additional requests are automatically deleted at the same time. These cascade-deleted additional requests are hidden from the deleted requests list, so the list stays focused on the main requests an administrator would look for.
Restoring works in two stages:
When you restore the main request, a confirmation appears that lists all affected additional requests and the state each was in at the time of deletion.
After the main request is restored, those additional requests reappear in the deleted requests list. You can then restore each one individually.
Restoring a main request does not automatically restore its additional requests in the same action. Review the confirmation list, then restore each additional request you need from the list afterwards.
Restore audit log
A separate tab on the same page shows the restore audit log, giving you a record of every restore performed. Each entry shows:
Restored request: shown as a link to the request.
Restored by: the user who performed the restore.
Restored at: the date and time of the restore.
📌 Note: Use the audit log to confirm a restore completed and to see who recovered a request and when.
