A list view with reference data Actions
Recover Obsolete
In N4, entities, such as line operators, trucking companies, shippers and consignees, are considered as reference data or reference entity. When you delete a record for a reference entity, N4 does not delete the record from the database. Instead, it sets the Life Cycle State of the entity as Obsolete and makes the record inactive. N4 does not include an Obsolete entity in any form or list for a user to select. In case, you want to use an obsolete (or inactive) entity again, you can use the Actions Recover Obsolete option in the list view for the entity to make the record active again. N4 does not display the obsolete entities in a list view, by default. To display the obsolete and active entities in a list view, select the Display
Show All option.
