How does Archiving work?
Automated (Passive Management)
Every night, our system will run to identify when you have reached the threshold of 50,000 contacts or 50,000 companies numbers are independent and do not affect one another).
After this number is reached, the system will automatically Archive the contacts or companies to ensure that the count remains at 50,000. For awareness, the oldest contacts and companies are auto-archived first to ensure your newly researched entries are still available.
Manual (Active Management)
On My Contacts/My Companies views users will be able to archive contacts and companies individually or in-bulk.
This functionality allows you to manually Archive the contacts through an additional button to ensure the data is removed but still accessible in the future.
Benefits
Keeping the contact and companies number lower allows for faster searching through the filters within your My Companies and My Contacts pages.
Previously, when hitting certain thresholds within the My Contacts and My Companies pages, the system would fail at loading these searches or filtered searches.
