If the project has been completed or stopped for some reason, you can easily remove it from the list of All projects. For that, you have two options:
Archiving a project
Note: the possibility to archive a project is linked to the user’s role in the GanttPRO account:
- An Account Owner can archive all projects.
- An account Admins can only delete/archive projects where they have Project Owner rights..
For Enterprise accounts that support creating custom roles, the ability to delete/archive projects is granted with the “All account projects” permission.
- Other users roles and rights don’t allow archiving/deleting projects.
This option is useful if you want to store your project data or you want to come back to it later, but do not want to clutter up the list with ongoing projects.
To archive a project, click on the three dots button in the upper right corner of the page and choose Archive project.
You can also do it by clicking on the three dots near the project’s title in the All projects section of the left sidebar.
Your project will immediately become archived, therefore, disabled for all actions, except viewing. However, it will be stored in your project dashboard, and you can restore it at any time.
Deleting a project
Note: the possibility to delete a project is linked to the user’s role in the GanttPRO account:
- An Account Owner can delete all projects.
- An account Admins can only delete/archive projects where they have Project Owner rights.
For Enterprise accounts that support creating custom roles, the ability to delete/archive projects is granted with the “All account projects” permission.
- Other users roles and rights don’t allow archiving/deleting projects.
Similar to the archiving process, there are two ways to delete a project.
The first one is by clicking on the three dots button in the upper right corner and choosing Delete project.
The other way is to click on the three dots near the project’s title in the All projects section of the left sidebar.
Note: Deleted projects cannot be restored.
If you delete your project, all the data, such as project duration, assignees, tasks, subtasks, and task dependencies, will be deleted permanently too.
If you would like to keep some of the patterns, information, etc, you can use the Save as template option. That way, you’ll be able to use it as one of your templates with the saved data in the future.
Another option is to archive a project.
