Archiving and Restoring Tasks

Modified on Mon, 1 Jul, 2024 at 5:46 PM

Tasks are archived in the farmerswife Server app > Setup > Bookings tab > Archive Tasks yyyy.
Click on the corresponding year to archive all Tasks on that specific year.

A confirmation window will appear asking to Confirm or Cancel the operation.

After confirming a final pop-up will show the amount of Tasks that have been archived.

As a result, all archived Tasks will disappear from the time lines (Hourline and Long Form). But will show again if they are restored.

The archived Task information gets stored in fw Server app's installation folder > system > archives > into files called: tasks_2000, tasks_2001, tasks_2002, etc.

This will also cause, that the main database's (current45.efdb) file size gets reduced.

This also improves overall performance.

Restoring Archived Tasks

Tasks can always be restored in case you need to consult information and later re-archive them again.

To restore archived Tasks, go to the farmerswife Server Setup > Bookings tab.

It is only possible to restore Tasks per year.

The button that was initially called Archive Tasks yyyy, is now called Restore Tasks yyyy. As you click on it, and you confirm the operation, a pop-up will display the amount of Tasks that have been restored on that specific year.
