Archive

Select On (control will turn blue) to archive this ingredient. This moves the Ingredient into the Archive group and hides it from regular searching.

NOTE: Ingredients are not deleted from the program when you perform this action. Once an item is archived, it is placed in the Archive Group. It will no longer be visible in the ingredient search, however, the record will remain in the program's database. You can view all archived foods from the Search Screen by clicking on the Archive Group. If you wish to use or view the ingredient again, click on the Archive Group and select the ingredient to open it. Once open, select Off for the archive control. This will put the ingredient back into the regular search function.

When archiving an ingredient, it may be best practice to rename the item with the word “Archived” in front of the ingredient name. You may also wish to include the date the items were archived. This will help in keeping track of ingredient changes from suppliers.
