Oops, I never meant to delete that transaction!
September 27th, 2007 by AshwinTo err is human. To accidentally delete “stuff” is even more human. To make you think before you delete, most software ends up asking the annoying “Are you sure you want to delete this?” pop-up. Problem is, quite often, you realize your mistake only when it is much too late.
The solution we have adopted is to provide an “undo” facility for deletion. Now, you can undelete your transaction any time. Even if your friend accidentally ends up deleting a transaction, you can undelete it and send him a polite note telling him about the mistake!
You can view your “trashed” transactions by clicking on the little “Trash” icon on your Transaction History page.
We hope this keeps the common case (no misunderstandings / mistakes) annoyance-free (no pop-ups) and yet provides an insurance when things go wrong. There are a couple more places where Buxfer needs to provide an “undo” facility - we will add that soon.
