Archiving, restoring, and deleting tickets

Archiving, restoring, and deleting tickets

Enable ticket archival
Configure queue archive settings
Archive selected tickets
Restore archived tickets
Delete archived tickets

Archiving tickets involves physically moving ticket data out of the transactional tables while preserving access to ticket data. Archiving does not permanently remove ticket data from the appliance. This is useful for old tickets that you might still need to reference.

When tickets are archived, they remain available until they are manually deleted or deleted based on the date constraints configured in the queue. This restriction reduces the possibility of deleting tickets accidentally.

A typical life cycle for tickets involves creation, resolution, archiving, and finally deleting. You can also “restore” a ticket as discussed in Restore archived tickets. Restoring tickets returns the ticket data from an archive table back into a transactional table for use, making ticket data available again in the Tickets tab.

Deleting tickets permanently deletes the ticket data from the appliance.
