Need more details on Soft Delete features

PHPMaker General Discussion (PHPMaker)

I am trying to use Soft Delete feature in PHPMaker v2025.

If i understood correctly, there is 3 new fields to enabled and configure soft delete.

  1. Soft delete field - I suppose this auto update the timestamp of the delete event. Tested working.

  2. Hard delete (for soft delete) - No documentation or reference on what it does. I was assuming after a soft delete there would be another user role that would be able to hard delete it. I mean literally to differentiate soft delete and hard delete. But in output the record simply gets hidden. And i cant find a way to hard delete it.

  3. Time aware (for soft delete) - No documentation or reference on what it does. I was assuming i could set it like a time 1 day to hard delete. But unless there is explaination what this field does, its ambigous.

  4. I cant enable soft delete specifically for Users table. It throws Invalid Class exception error.

Have you already seen this documention?

Yes I did, but it doenst explain how do we restore it or access “deleted” field. Is there a page or by access control to view the deleted records.
It doesnt specify how soft delete with time works. What are the values applicable there
