Archiving a Group

Archiving Edits in the Item Group Editor (IGE)

If edits for a group are only temporary, they can be archived. This allows the group to be restored to its previous settings at a later time.

1. From the TECH Toolbar, click on the Item Group Editor wizard.
   
2. Create your list of items using one of the following methods:
   • Single Option: Scanned items are added to the list automatically.
   • Advanced Option: Use Add Selected or Add All to move search results into the Item List area.
3. 
4. Once the list is complete, click Create Group.
   
5. In the Group ID field, enter a name (starting with your library's 3-letter code or your initials; max 18 characters).
6. (Optional) Enter a Description (max 70 characters), then click Create Group.
   
7. Click OK on the confirmation pop-up.
8. Click Edit Items.
   
9. Important: Check the box for Archive Before Editing. This is what allows for a future restore.
10. Select the changes you wish to make, then click Edit Items.
11. Once the process is complete, click Close.
    
12. To verify, check the Archived column in your group list; a Y indicates the group has been successfully archived.
