Archive
Remove a reviewed entry that no longer applies from all lists with “Archive”, without deleting it.
Purpose
Knowledge goes out of date. Archiving removes outdated entries from list, search, situation report and drafts, but keeps them for traceability.
How it works
- Open “Knowledge” in the left column.
- Find the entry under “Reviewed knowledge”.
- Click “Archive” on the entry. “Archived.” appears.
Recording
“For rush orders I first ask production, then the approval office.”
New entry
Approving rush orders
- Source
- Conversation with purchasing
- Who may see it?
- Department
Reviewed by a second person
Reviewed knowledge
Fig. 1 A spoken sentence becomes a knowledge entry with source and visibility scope. After review by a second person it is approved and appears in reviewed knowledge.
Who may archive
“Owner”, “Administration” and “Executive management” may archive, as may whoever heads the department the entry is assigned to.
What archiving does
- The entry disappears from “Reviewed knowledge”, from search and from the numbers in the overview.
- Situation reports and drafts are only based on approved knowledge; archived entries are no longer included.
- The entry is kept in the database; archiving is not deleting.
- The action is recorded in the log.
Tips
Only archive an entry once its successor has been approved, so that no gap arises.
Frequently asked questions
Is an archived entry deleted?
