Archive selected modules in Anaplan

hinamahmood1994

We needed to create a new hierarchy and **** the old one. We've been running two major modules alongside one another for a few months now. We want to archive the old hierarchy and all modules associated with it. Is there a way of archiving modules and lists but not the entire model itself?

Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply, You could use the following option: make sure the lists(hierarchies) that you want to keep are NOT tagged as production data, tag other lists as production data, create a revision tag and and then create a model based on the revision tag, it will contain all hierarchies(except the production hierarchies) and formulas, but no production lists or data. It will only make the model smaller if the largest lists can be tagged as production. Another option to reduce the space is deleting versions and reducing time settings (can be used in combination with the revision model).

You can't archive the modules or lists. However, if you really want it for future reference, you can use a subset with no items and use that subset in the module instead of a list. In this case, the module will be there with no size.

However, do remember that the list items occupy significant size.

In addition, you can change the type on the line items to no data and it will preserve the formulas. You will need to make sure the line items are not referenced by other modules though so you don't get a toaster. I like the suggestion of using a subset with nothing marked.
