Archiving or deleting CAPs, CAs and PAs
Updated over a week ago

This article explains how users can access, archive, unarchive, and delete actions.

How do I archive or delete CAPs, CAs and PAs?

  1. Select the actions to be archived in the table by clicking on the small box on the left of the action name.

  2. Click the archive icon.

  3. Confirm the selection.

Once confirmed the link between the selected actions is removed, meaning that if users archive a CA or PA linked to a CAP, it will not be visible in the CAP anymore.

If users archive a whole CAP, we ask them if they also want to archive the linked CAPAs.

How do I access archived CAPs, CAs and PAs?

When you archived a CAP, CA or PA you find it again if you filter for the according value. In the overview tables there is a column called ?is archived?. If it says no, the action is not archived. If it says yes, the action is archived.

To access the archived actions:

  1. Open the filter options on the top-right side of your table.

  2. Scroll down to "Is Archived" and select "Yes".

  3. Click the "Apply" button on the bottom-right of the box.

How do I unarchive CAPs, CAs and PAs?

Now, the table is filtered accordingly, and you can see only those actions that have been archived. With this filter, the icons also change. Now, you can either unarchive or delete the archived actions. To unarchive:

  1. Select or multiselect the actions by clicking on the small box on the left of the action name.

  2. Click the unarchive icon.

  3. Click "Confirm".

NOTE: Please be aware that the linkages between actions will not be restored once unarchived. So, unarchiving a CAP will not automatically unarchive or reconnect the previously connected actions.

How do I delete archived CAPs, CAs and PAs?

  1. Ensure that you filtered for archived actions.

  2. Select or multiselect the actions you want to delete by clicking on the small box on the left of the action names.

  3. Click the delete icon.

  4. Click "Confirm".

NOTE: Please be aware that as soon as an action has been deleted, it is an irreversible and will no longer be retrievable or accessible.
