Users can select records to be archived and the system will add them to archive vault. Once in the vault these records are no longer part of the day to day use of the account but they can be accessed, reviewed and restored if required. 


The purpose of this feature is to allow users to move old records out of the current data set and keep it restricted to "useful" content whilst keeping the archived data safe should it be required in the future.

The Archive Vault provides the detail of each record that has been placed into the vault. You can order by the field “archived time & date” to help you find the record you are looking for.


For each record in the vault you can either Restore or Delete. Tick the checkbox next to the required records and then select the [Edit Selection] option and choose Restore or Delete.


Restore will take the record out of the Archive Vault and back into your current data. 

Delete will take the record out of the vault and move it into the Recycle Bin.


  • If you Archive or Delete a record then as well as the record itself, all of the associated sub and linked records (such as Alerts, Notes, Documents) will also be moved. 
  • If you restore the record back again then all its associated sub and linked records will automatically be restored with it.
