Archive a Process

Archive a Process that is no longer needed in your organization.

Overview

An archived Process has the following attributes:

• Requests cannot start from an archived Process until it is restored. Archived Processes are not deleted.

• All archived Processes in the organization are accessible from the Archived Processes page. See View Archived Processes.

• A Process with in-progress Requests can be archived. In-progress Requests for a Process that is archived can complete; however, no new Requests can be started.

• Process designers can not edit a Process in the archived state.

Do not confuse archived Processes with inactive ones. The Inactive status for a Process also indicates that new Requests of the Process can not be started. However, Process designers can edit the Process as needed. Archived Processes cannot be edited until they are restored. See View Active and Inactive Processes.
