What
In the Nobi application, departments can be archived when they’re no longer in use. Archiving hides a department from the active dashboard while keeping its data accessible for future reference. Departments that still contain housing units cannot be archived.
Why
Archiving helps you maintain a clear overview by removing unused departments from daily view without losing historical context. This is especially useful after site / community changes, reorganizations, or team updates. Archiving ensures no data is lost and information linked to a department remain intact. To archive a department, all associated housing units must be removed or reassigned first.
