Portal Admin- Purge, Archive and Restore Meetings

When an eSCRIBE meeting site is deleted from the eSCRIBE Portal, it is sent to a type of “recycle bin”, so that the deletion can be undone if required. A deleted meeting site can either be restored, or purged from the system by an Administrator

Under the “Others” menu option, select “Portal Admin” to access the purge and restore functionality. Select a “Meeting Type” from the drop-down menu. A list of all deleted meeting sites for that meeting type will appear. Mark the check box(es) for the meeting sites you wish to purge (remove permanently) or restore, and click the appropriate button (“Purge” or “Restore”).

When a meeting site is purged, it is permanently removed from the eSCRIBE system and CAN NOT be recovered. This includes tasks connected to the meeting site. When a meeting site is restored, it simply becomes available again on the eSCRIBE Portal.
