Administrator Guide > Archive Data |
Archive Data is used to purge accounts from the Framework. This removes the account and all related information to the account (Comments, Payment History, etc.). If all accounts for a person are archived, the entire person record is archived. Workflow data is archived if accounts and persons associated with the workflow are also being archived.
From this page in System Management, administrators can define the accounts to archive and perform the archive.
