Archive a project
After a project is completed, invoice, paid, etc it would be
convenient to have the project removed from the drop-down list when
tracking time/tasks. I am assuming that this is what Project >
Three-Lines-Button > Archive will do, but oddly enough this
doesn't seem to be documented in the Knowledge Base. Could you
please clarify what happens when a project is Archived?
Thanks!

Hi Lydia, that's exactly one thing that should happen when you archive a
project.
Which drop-down are you referring to?

Thank you. Just checking to make sure that Archiving won't do anything else, like cause invoices to vanish out of reporting, or contacts to go missing, or similar issues. (I have worked with some other time and invoice solutions before I found cashboard, so I have learned not to make risky assumptions about what a given feature might actually do!)
It is a pop-up, actually. The little selector box that lets you fill in which Client, Project & Task you want to assign a timekeeping entry to.
Thanks!

Archiving a project will do a few things
- Hide it from those lists in time tracking
- Hide it from your "active" or "open" project lists
- You won't be able to track time, or add new tasks for it
You can also archive clients, which will hide them from similar menus and lists
Of course, you can archive and unarchive clients and projects at any time. We have no concept currently of archiving invoices. Invoices are just either "paid" or "unpaid".

When I archive projects and then login as client, they still appear under Open Projects in the client portal. It's great that they can still get at all projects from the Projects tab there, but the Open Projects list on that Overview page doesn't show just the unarchived projects as I would expect it to.
