Archiving a Structure

Some features are not yet available to all customers. To participate in Tempo's Early Access Program and gain access to this feature, please contact Tempo Support.

When you Archive a structure it becomes read-only and is hidden from search results and lists. The issues within the structure are not affected in any way. They remain in Jira and can still be part of another structure.

Read-only means that users cannot add, remove or move items (issues, flex items, generators) in the archived structure.

Archive a Structure

To archive a structure:

  1. Open the All Structures page from the left navbar.

  2. Find the structure you'd like to archive, open the Actions menu (...), and select Archive.

  3. Review the structure you are about to archive and confirm the operation. You can Unarchive the structure in the future.

Opening an Archived Structure

When you open an archived structure, a message appears at the top of the structure, letting you know it is archived and cannot be altered.

You can restore an archived structure to make it editable and visible in search results.

Generators and Archiving

When you archive a structure built using generators, the generators used to create the structure are saved, but not the issues they add. If you open or unarchive the structure at a later time, it may contain different issues and/or a different hierarchy from when it was archived, because the generators always build the structure based on current Jira values.
