How to Archive or Reactivate a Market

Note: markets cannot be deleted — only archived. Don't write or expect a "delete a market" option; it doesn't exist in the product, only archive/reactivate.

Hide a market your organization no longer uses (or bring a hidden one back), without losing its history.

Before you start

You need the Manage CRM Settings right. The market must already exist.

Steps

To archive an active market

1. Go to Settings → Client Relations Manager → Markets & Fields, on the Active Markets sub-tab.
2. Find the market's row and click the Archive icon.
3. Confirm in the dialog: "Archive the market '{name}'? It will be hidden from leads, vendors and imports until reactivated. Markets are never deleted."
4. Click Archive.

To bring an archived market back

1. Switch to the Archived Markets sub-tab.
2. Find the market's row and click the Reactivate icon.
3. Confirm in the dialog: "Reactivate the market '{name}'? It will become available again for leads, vendors and imports."
4. Click Reactivate.

What you'll see

An archived market disappears from the active-market pickers used when creating leads, adding vendors, or configuring imports — but its existing leads, vendors, and history are untouched. Reactivating restores it to full availability immediately.
