Archiving and unarchiving a label

Roles and permissions

The following roles can archive and/or unarchive a label:

  • Administrators

  • Compliance managers with manager permissions on the label

  • Users with manager permissions on the label

As your program grows and evolves, you may find that some labels are no longer needed. As with other objects in Hyperproof, archiving labels removes them from view, but doesn’t completely remove them from Hyperproof. This is helpful should you need to access an archived label in the future.

The following changes are made to a label when it's archived:

  • Linked controls are unlinked from the label.

  • The freshness status is set to 'None'.

  • The freshness expiration date is removed.

Archiving a single label

  1. From the left menu, select Labels.

  2. Select the label you want to archive.

  3. Select the ... (More options) tab, then click Archive label.

    Hyperproof notifies you of any controls linked to the label. If there are linked controls, Hyperproof will unlink them.

    If you select a label where you are not a member or don't have manager permissions, the Archive option is grayed out.

    The Review and confirm window opens.

  4. Click Confirm.

    The labels are archived.

Unarchiving a label

An archived label can be viewed and/or unarchived at any time. The archived label overview works the same as the active label overview. You can select and view all components of the archived label including tasks and proof. Controls remain unlinked.
