Archiving a Site Task in QA

How to archive a site task and bring it back when you need it

Archiving removes a site task from your active lists without deleting it. It's useful once a task is finished or no longer needed, or just to keep your quality items tidy and up to date — the task, and any QA records linked to it, are hidden from view rather than lost, and you can restore everything at any time.


Archiving a Site Task

  1. Select the Quality tile

  2. Go to Deploy and Assign tab to see an inventory of all your site tasks

  3. Find the site task in the list and select the bin icon at the end of its row

  4. A Confirm archive message appears

  5. Select Archive to confirm, or Cancel to leave the task as it is.

The task disappears from your active Site Tasks list straight away. Nothing is deleted, and it can be brought back at any time — see below.


Viewing Archived Site Tasks

  1. Open the list you're working from: Quality Assurance > Deploy and Assign.

  2. Use the Active / Archived / All filter at the top of the list.

Select Archived to see only archived tasks, or All to see active and archived tasks together — useful for reviewing past inspection items alongside current ones.


Unarchiving a Site Task

  1. With the Archived or All filter selected, find the task and select the same icon on its row — it now offers Unarchive instead of Archive.

  2. Confirm on the Confirm unarchive message that appears — it explains the task and its related QA records will reappear together.

  3. The task, and its related QA records, return to the active list with the status they had before you archived it.


Use Case

Typically used by QA managers / super users organising quality works and checks, as part of routine housekeeping to keep the Quality tile tidy and up to date.


💡 Tips

  • Archiving a site task also archives everything linked to it — its QA approvals, progress and progress steps — in one go, so there's nothing to tidy up separately.

  • Archived site tasks also disappear from the Site Tasks tile in the mobile app, so operatives assigned to them won't see them there either.
