Workflow fields may indicate when a record required by the workflow is
deleted.

After a referenced record is deleted, the reference in the primary record is no longer valid.
If the stage renderer detects a reference that is no longer valid, the stage field displays a
message about the deleted record.  
Administrators can restore deleted records. For more information, see [Use the Deleted Records module to restore a deleted record](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_RestoreADeletedRecordAndRef&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).Figure 1.

The image shows a list with two workflows. The top request does not have an associated request
item. The bottom request has an associated request item, but the item does not have an
associated workflow context.
