Archive Programs,Portfolios, Etc.

Does not work.

Kundan.

The article linked above is inactive but I found some info about deactivating objects here:

https://experience.workfront.com/s/article/2019-2-Features-Released-Directly-to-Production-2083262508#Deactiva

Is Deactivating them the same as archiving the full contents of a portfolio for example?

Tried using the link above and I get:

Has this moved someplace else?

How was this delivered if you still can only delete a program/campaign?

The link above doesn't work,can you resend?

Above mentioned link does not work; : https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018813534

Please update the correct one.

Good news! We have been looking into this and are starting to work on it. We are still putting together full documentation for the changes, but you will have the ability to mark most things referenced in this post and comments here as "Inactive". This will cause that those items no longer show up in your drop down and certain type ahead fields for use. This will create a cleaner interface for your users.

We will be adding this feature to the system with a patch release that happens on the night of Wednesday, March 6th, (mountain time).

Documentation for this new feature can be found here: https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018813534

Thanks!

I've been looking through this thread since we are just now wrapping up our first year with Workfront. I can't believe this isn't a standard feature yet. We use portfolios to correspond with SOWs so moving projects into an "Archive Portfolio" would totally mess up the way we currently categorize our projects. With the new year about to start, it would be really nice to have a way to declutter without 1) losing all of the project/portfolio/client data or 2) having to come up with some convoluted work around that still has the potential to disorganize all of our 2018 work. I've worked in multiple other project management systems over the years and this is the first system to not have archiving as a standard option. Ideally, this archive feature could work on all levels since there are also going to be clients we are not longer working with in 2019.

Nicole - I totally agree with your comments - it is like a mine field. I have concluded that I really cannot clean up most things in Workfront because it will impact all open & closed projects. My preference would be to archive & not delete.

The best I can do is to take away sharing & possibly rename with a code, like starting the name/title with 'zz' moves it to the bottom of my list. (ex: programs, custom forms, custom fields, milestone paths, job roles, etc.)
