The difference between deleting and archiving
After deleting or archiving, an object can no longer be queried. From an end users point of view, there is one big difference between deleting and archiving.
If you would archive a property and that property is linked to a request, end-users (non-admin users) can still see the property in the request.
If you delete the property, the property field will appear empty in the request for end-users (non-admin users).
What happens to my deleted/ archived objects?
objects in the archive will stay there indefinitely, this is for example useful for contracts or users.
objects in the bin are, depending on the settings, permanently deleted after x days (default setting is that they will never be deleted).
Only system administrators have access to and can query the bin and archive. They can also restore objects.
Deleting and archiving objects
