Question
When are Verified tasks archived and how do I view them?
Answer
Tasks are archived 7 days after a task is Verified. This is based on the 'Archive tasks' setting in the Project Settings tab and by default is set to 7 days. (For more information about the Project Settings tab, check out this article: The Project Settings Tab on Web and Mobile).
Why do tasks appear to be missing or deleted?
In some cases, tasks may appear to be missing or deleted when they have actually been automatically archived.
Fieldwire will automatically archive tasks after they reach the Verified status based on the Archive verified tasks setting in the Project Settings tab. If this setting is configured for a shorter timeframe, tasks may be archived sooner than expected.
Viewing archived tasks on the Tasks tab
To view verified tasks that have been archived, go to the 'Tasks' tab.
- Click 'Filters' in the top right corner.
- In the newly opened header, select 'Show archived tasks'.
- In the status column named 'Verified' (or whatever name you´ve given to the verified status), the archived tasks will apear
When are my verified tasks archived?
By default, tasks will archive 7 days after being set to Verified status.
If your tasks are building up and you'd like to archive them more frequently, you can change the timeframe to 1 or 3 days within your project settings.
Alternatively, you can change this to 30, 90, 365, or 3650 days if you'd like to keep the Verified tasks in view for a longer period of time.
Note: This is specific to each project, though you can clone the Settings tab to make this consistent.
