Archiving TimeCache projects
As you continue using TimeCache, there will probably come a day
when there are older, inactive projects/matters that you no longer
wish to see in the Job Sheets section.
You could delete these projects, but that would remove data which
might be valuable for estimating similar projects in the
future.
The solution is to use the Archive feature built into
TimeCache.
This feature allows you to archive projects within your data file.
Rather than removing project listings from your file, it moves them
to a special area of the file so that you do not need to navigate
through those listings when working with active projects. It makes
the data for these projects readily accessible, and it is extremely
easy to reactivate an archived project.
TimeCache makes it easy to archive a project. When viewing a
project's Job Sheet, simply choose .
To view an archived project, choose , and then select
the archived project you want to review from the list dialog that
appears. Highlight the project and click View, or double-click the project in the list to
see it in the Archive panel. The Archive panel is just like the Job
Sheet panel, except that you cannot edit any of a project's
information. The one aspect of an archived project that can be
changed is setting marks for entries,
allowing you to designate specific entries to be included in
reports.
You can reactivate an archived project (restore it to the Job Sheet
section) just as easily as archiving a project. In the Archive
panel, choose .
Entries from archived projects cannot be reloaded into the Daily Log. You can include
entries from archived projects in reports by clicking the
appropriate checkbox in the Report Setup dialog box. You can also
include archived projects in searches by clicking the appropriate
checkbox in the Find dialog.
