Filtering, Searching, and Archiving Teams in Ontraccr
🧹 Filtering, Searching, and Archiving Teams in Ontraccr
As your organization grows, so does the number of teams in your system. Ontraccr provides built-in tools to search, filter, and archive teams — helping you keep your workspace organized and easy to navigate. This article explains how to use these tools effectively.
🔍 Searching Teams by Name
At the top of the Manage Teams page, you’ll find a search bar.
How it works:
- Start typing a team name.
- Results will filter live, showing only teams that match your search.
📌 Search is based on team name only. Other fields (e.g., members or projects) are not searchable here.
🎛️ Filtering Active vs Archived Teams
Ontraccr separates teams into two categories:
- Active Teams (default view)
- Archived Teams
How to Filter:
- Click the red Filter button on the Manage Teams page.
- Select either:
- Status: Active
- Status: Archived
This helps declutter your main view by hiding inactive or legacy teams.
📥 How to Archive a Team
Archiving a team removes it from the default view but does not delete any users, time entries, or schedules associated with that team.
To archive:
- Click the team name to open the profile.
- Click the Edit button.
- Click the Archive button at the bottom of the form.
- Confirm the archive action.
🧠 Tip: Use archiving when a project finishes or a crew disbands, but you still need records for reporting.
🗑️ Deleting a Team Permanently
If a team is no longer needed:
- Filter to view Archived Teams.
- Locate the team.
- Click the Delete icon.
- Confirm the deletion.
⚠️ Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
