Un-retire a trap

#1

I have a trap which I retired. I now want to reinstate it. Is that possible? How?

Yes you can but you set it up as a new trap with the same ID. The retired trap still keeps its old records.

Worked a treat. Thanks

Note that you if you accidentally retired a trap you can unretire it - you will need to find it first by setting the Active/Retired dropdown on the Traps page to “Retired” and apply the filter.

Once you have found the trap you can then edit it and un-check the retired checkbox.

But as @kendall.wj says you wouldn’t normally do this unless it is the same trap in exactly the same place. If it is the same ID in a different location then create a new trap.

I tried doing what you describe @root but I coudn’t make it work, hence my original question. I was putting trap back in the exact same spot.

Hi ignoble,

Can you explain what you mean by “couldn’t make it work”? It sounds like un-retiring is the correct option in your case, so it would be good to know if it is system bug or if the process isn’t intuitive enough.

Cheers,
Andy

I can’t remember exactly what I did, but I believe I filtered for retired traps, selected that trap and unchecked the Retire box. It didn’t seem to succeed in un-retiring the trap. It is possible I did something wrong.

Go into the website and your project - select Manage Traps from the buttons on the top, choose the “Retired” option from the Active Retired box top left.

Then click on the red number of the trap in the list and it opens an edit screen for that trap. Click the Edit button just below the trap number on the top left. In the new screen, click the tick box next to “retired” mid-right and then scroll to the bottom to click the green “Save” button at the bottom left. Check in your Active/Retired list to see if it worked!

Worked for me!

Cheers

Graham
