What do we do with a closed release?
You do not want to get rid of the history of a release, but you can mark it as Inactive to get it out of the way. Then, you can configure the Releases page to show or hide inactive releases.
You can get data out of the way using folders. Put the data into a folder, then make the folder Inactive. The folder and all data in it will be hidden (in the new UI) or moved down to the bottom of the navigation panel (in the old UI). You can get the data back by making the folder Active again.
Yes, you can import data from a flat CSV file:
-
Go to the appropriate page in QAComplete and click Import from CSV file in the Tools menu (or the Actions menu) .
– or –
Click > Setup on the QAComplete main toolbar.
In the navigation panel on the left, click Import > Import Wizard.
-
Follow the instructions of the resulting import wizard.

How do I locate specific items?
