We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.
Archives versus Archive Center
Updated:
A frequent cause for confusion is the distinction between Archives and Archive Center. This article will highlight the purpose and features of each item.
Purpose
Features
Archive Center
A file repository that houses data-sensitive documents that must be organized and displayed chronologically.
Documents found in Archive Center:
Annual Reports
Budgets
Agendas and Minutes
Agenda Center is more optimal for these types of documents.
Newsletters
Other documents you want to display current and past versions of
Archive Center automatically publishes all Saved items, regardless of Published or Not Published status.
Archives
A database backup of all Published content within your CivicEngage Central site. This includes documents, calendar events, pages, or anything else within your site that is published.
All Published items are archived automatically.
This is not an optional feature and is done to help comply with record retention requirements.
If an item is Saved but not Published, it does not automatically archive.
Your site will do a site-wide backup on a Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly basis, in which the site remotely backs up all Archived Items.
In this backup, all deleted items within the past week will leave the Archives. They are only accessible from remote backups. If you need to recover a deleted item, do this within the week, rather than a month later.
The Archive action in some tools moves the item to the Archives, after which it is no longer accessible to the public.
If desired, the Archives can become publicly accessible on the site, within Modules.
This is a Property setting for the individual categories.
By default, News Flash and Alert Center enable this functionality.
