RE: [otrs] deleteting data from OTRS

Hi, Is there any way then of making the interface more user friendly. It look then that the interface will just get bigger and bigger, For example now when I look at the page Customer Users <-> Groups it is very large and becomes difficult to manage, the same will be for User <-> Groups. If the data is held in a database then there must be an entity model with all the relationships which would allow me to delete data? Does such a document exist and would you let people such as myself look at it?

I understand that but if things don't get deleted then the admin interface for users, customers etc becomes very messy. Deleting would be a good option. Is this possible?
I don't think it's possible, or at least not a good idea. I believe that when you would delete a customer, OTRS would have to also delete all the associated tickets and other data or the database would no longer be consistent. I believe that's why there is no delete option. Setting a customer to be no longer valid makes sure that customer can no longer login, but the customer's ticket history is still available for searching for instance.

Yes, the database model is available. And I wouldn't know why I wouldn't let you look at it. I'm also just a user like you. The database model is available on the OTRS FTP server: ftp:// ftp.otrs.org/pub/otrs/misc/ Nils Breunese.
