Document Archive Software - Archiving Documents

The document Archive is the area in the software where documents that are no longer in use but still need to be kept for historical record purposes are kept. Users with appropriate roles and permissions can move electronic documents from the Library into the Document Archive. Electronic Documents can also be moved automatically into the document archive software if using a scheduled event.

You may need to enable event functionality in Web Client > System Administrator > Genera Settings - the documentation page is found here.
