Changing the Account Status

Changing account status requires the Tempo Account Administrator permission. Account Leads for the account can also change the status.

Accounts can have one of the following statuses: open, closed, or archived.

To change the account status:

Select Accounts in the Tempo sidebar.
In the Accounts view, select the account you want to view.
Rest the mouse pointer on the Status field. When the pointer changes into a pointing hand, click and then select a status:
1. Open accounts appear in reports and are displayed in the Account field in linked project issues.
2. Closed accounts appear in reports but are not displayed in the Account field in linked project issues.
3. Archived accounts will not appear in reports or be displayed in the Account field in linked project issues.
