Archive a Custom Object

The Archive status allows you to remove an unneeded Custom Object from search results without actually deleting the Custom Object. This action helps keep your workspace organized, while retaining the Custom Object for future reference or reactivation.

To archive a Custom Object:

1. Select Program from the top navigation bar, then select Custom Objects from the side navigation menu. The Custom Objects screen is displayed.

2. Search for and select the desired Custom Object (see Search for a Custom Object for more information on the available search options). The Custom Object Details screen is displayed, with the Definition tab selected.

3. Within the header area of the screen, from the Status drop-down menu, select Archive. A confirmation dialog box is displayed; click Confirm.

If this Custom Object was previously Published, you must deploy metadata in order for the changes to take effect. See Deploy Custom Objects Metadata for more details on this process.
