Delete/Archive

Ticketing > Delete/Archive

You may reach the point where your system has so many old tickets that they are cluttering up searches with obsolete data. Use the Delete/Archive function to eliminate old tickets, tickets in a particular category, or of a particular status.

In addition to delete, you can also archive tickets. Archived tickets stay in the database but are moved to separate tables. Use archive to move obsolete or old tickets out of the active database without deleting them from the system.

Note: You can always move tickets back and forth between into the active database table and the archive database table.
