Archive or manage "inactive" clients

How to manage clients who temporarily pause services or return for special projects, and what to expect when archiving a client.

Updated yesterday

When Clients Pause or Re-Engage on Special Projects

If a client is taking a break or only engages for one-off projects, many firms handle this by:

  • Creating a dedicated team called “Inactive Clients” with only senior staff or executives added to that team

  • Do this after the client has become inactive, as it impacts the visibility of the tasks belonging to this client.

What happens after moving clients to an "inactive clients" team

  1. Tasks assignment: When you move a client to a new team, any users not in that new team will be unassigned from the client's tasks in the future. You will need to reassign these tasks to your staff when the clients become active again and is moved out of the "inactive clients" team.

  2. What happens to the workflows? If workflows are still active, users in the “Inactive Clients” team will continue to see the tasks in their workspace. Deactivating the workflow will remove the future tasks from the workspace.

Archiving a Client

Before archiving, be sure to download all essential files and information related to the client.

What Happens After Archiving:

  • Future tasks and meetings will be removed from your workspace.

  • Some historical data will remain accessible, including:

    • Tasks on the workspace

    • Time entries (logged and budgeted hours)
