Summary17943: Request to enhance the check data integrity function
Description

The function to delete tables of removed surveys from the database is crucial for data protection, at least in GDPR countries, regarding tables with personal data, e.g. participants' tables.

Feature requests.

  • Filter by the tables' age
  • Filter by survey owners
  • Display a dialogue to the survey owner after they deleted a survey - or at logout - asking them to perform the function for their own deleted survey(s).
  • For the "general" function invoked by the server admin: more comfy user interface with sorting / filtering possibilities as proposed above and "check / uncheck all"
Additional Information

When a survey is deleted via the user interface, the questionnaire and resources (uploads) are deleted. Data tables, however, remain in the database until the data integrity check is done.

If hosting an installation with many survey administrators, the server admin won't know when a survey is deleted, so they would usually perform the function on a regular basis. However, they won't know whether the deleted survey's admin might want to reactivate it at a later date and wants to keep these tables for re-importing.

It's not done when delete survey ?
It must be without other action or confirmation.

This is an spearated bug in my opinion.

  1. Feature request #1: have filter, by age, by user etc
  2. Feature request : by survey
  3. Feature request : by non super admin user on his onw survey
  4. Bug : old table are not deleted when survey is deleted.

OK, I'm writing a feature request for each of these.

Question: Is there a reason why 2. (filter by survey) is a separate request from 1.?

Another Question: 4. would make 3. redundant, right?

17947: 1. and possibly 2.

17948: 3.

Is 4. really a bug?
Someone said somewhere that sometimes a user wants to keep tables in order to re-use them in another survey. So maybe this is also a feature request:

  • Create possibility for super admin (for the entire installation) and/or for survey admin (for their surveys only) to decide whether database tables are to be deleted immediately with the survey deletion or if they choose to keep them for a longer time. "and" would be best :)

Remind : it's just my personal opinion :).

About «sometimes a user wants to keep tables in order to re-use them in another survey.» but then : we don't keep current token table and survey table …
If needed : can use VV export/import

We delete current survey table but not old survey table : my opinoon : it's an issue :)
