How to Archive a Record

When a record is archived, the record is removed from the main CRM Records page and its details are no longer visible. Only records that are not associated with any other record can be archived. In order for a record to be archived, it must be submitted for review and the archive request approved. A list of archived records can be found in the CRM by clicking ‘Advanced Search’ and toggling to ‘Archived Records’.

  1. Find the record to be archived.
  2. Request the record to be archived.
  3. A reviewer must approve the record request.

There are two ways to trigger an archive request: on the CRM records page, and on the page of the record itself.

  1. Navigate to the CRM Records page:
    • Click CRM in the left nav menu.
    • Click View All in the CRM Records pane on the home page.
  2. Use the search bar or filters to find the record in need of archiving.
  3. At the end of the record’s row, click the three line menu icon.
