Archive, Restore, and Delete Organizations

As a user logged in with an Account Type of Full Administrator or as a Client Administrator in Contacts, you can archive, restore, or permanently delete organizations. Archiving and restoring organizations provides a safer alternative to deleting. Archiving allows organizations to retain history and to be restored, along with their previous assignments, if needed.

As a recommended approach:

  • Archive an organization instead of deleting it to keep the organization history and assignments recoverable.

  • Review archived organizations regularly to maintain clean records.

When an organizations is archived, the organization is:

  • Unassigned from all accounts.

  • No longer visible in the platform in any drop-down lists or on reports.

  • No longer available as a recipient on alerts.

  • Removed from board notifications.

  • Removed from the Active tab.

  • Displayed on the Archived tab.

When an organization is restored, the organization is:

  • Reassigned to all previous accounts and notification groups.

  • Visible in the platform in drop-down lists or on reports.

  • Available as a recipient on alerts.

  • Available in board notifications.

  • Visible on the Active tab.

  • Removed from the Archived tab.

To archive, restore, or delete organizations, you must be either:

  • An Account Type of Full Administrator. Users of this type can archive and restore any group.

  • A Client Administrator role in contacts
