It covers how to manage records can be ' visibility by toggling their archived so they no longer appear in status, thereby improving system performance and ensuring data is easily retrievable when needed. Key features include filtering records based on their archival status, detailed steps for using the Batch Update feature for both archiving and unarchiving, and the use of the Level 1 list view'''@archived@''' system variable for conditional visibility and editing of records.

This is done via [[Batch Update]]Additionally, the article describes an alternative method for unarchiving records individually through custom JavaScript, offering a solution for a custom control. :[[Image:ArchiveL1.png]]

===Unarchiving records using Pandora===

An alternative method for unarchiving involves using [[Pandora]] in a custom JavaScript button. The sample code below is to be used within a [[Custom Field Type: Read Only – System Variables]] field.

 

This method is best used in combination with a report built to list all archived records, with a hyperlink for each record.

 

The process for the user will be:

 

# The report is run where a record can be filtered according to search criteria.

# The user will click on a hyperlink into the record where the "Unarchive" button will be exposed.

# Upon clicking the button, the record will be unarchived where it will now re-appear when searched within the UTA.

 

 

<pre>//Displays a button where when clicked will call the "unarchive()" function

 

<input class="Button" type="Button" value="Unarchive Record" />

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

function unarchive(){

updatefields('archived',0); //Sets Archived flag to 0

}

 

function updatefields(fieldname,fielddata){

ss_developer_key="xxxxx"; //Enter Developer Key

var gbappid=xxxxx; //Enter application ID

var addfields="opportunityid,"+fieldname;

var rset=new ssRecordSet(null);

rset.addfieldnames(addfields);

var idx=rset.getnewrecnumber();

rset.addfieldvaluebyname(idx,'opportunityid','@opportunityid@');

rset.addfieldvaluebyname(idx,fieldname,fielddata);

var rs=levelone_update(false ,'',gbappid,rset);

}

// ]]></script>
