Administrator experience
When you have deployed this extension, then Tickets objects can be massively archived (and unarchived) by administrators only.
Search for the Tickets that you want to Archive and from that list, open the Actions menu. Below two possibilities, in standard mode (only mass archive action available) and in archive mode (both mass archive and unarchive actions available)
Mass archive or unarchive actions sends to a confirmation screen :
You can also do it on a single ticket details screen, using the Actions menu:
End User experience
In standard mode
All archived objects are hidden, for all users including admins, like if they were deleted.
A reference to their friendly name can be found in other objects
pointing to them. Example on an archived contact which is the
caller of a non-archived Change.
As you can see the link is inactive, you can't
open the caller details.
In the history of other objects to which they are or were linked, you just get the id of that archived object:
If you try to open the details of that archived object using a bookmarked url or building the url like this: http://myitop/pages/UI.php?operation=details&class=Person&id=11&
Then you will get a message like this one:
archived

-
All objects are read-only
-
Archived objects are visible and tagged as
archived
-
An attribute referencing an
archived
object is clickable:
If you desactivate archive mode
while you are on an
archived object:
you get again the feedback message
