Archiving hides an order from the office for good: duplicates, tests, mistakes. Admins can always archive. Can archive orders lets you give that to anyone else — a sales manager, for example.
What it gives
Someone with Can archive orders can:
- pick Archived in the order's status menu
- pick Archived in Change status for orders picked on the orders list, AI Leads or the Calendar
- take an order out of Archived (pick another status for it)
- ask Ed to archive an order
The usual checks still apply: an order linked to storage, or with a completed job, can't be archived, and an order with payroll asks first. See Postpone, cancel or archive an order.
What it doesn't give
To find and open archived orders, a person also needs See archived orders. See Let someone see archived orders. Without it, they can archive an order but not find it again afterwards.
Turn it on
- Open Settings › Users & permissions › Users and click the person.
- Open Permissions. In the Orders card, turn on Can archive orders.
- Press Save. It applies on their next click.
It's off for everyone until you turn it on. Admins always have it.
