The problem
Completed jobs pile up. Your active job list turns into a scroll through twenty items, most of them done, and you can't quickly see what actually needs attention. Deleting them feels risky because what if you need the invoice history?
Why we built it
Archive is the right move — not delete. Archived jobs disappear from the active list but their full history stays intact. Search for them, reference them, or restore them to active status at any time.
How it works
- 1
On any completed job, tap the menu and select "Archive."
- 2
The job moves out of your active list. Records, invoices, and photos stay intact.
- 3
Search for archived jobs at any time, or filter "Archived" in the jobs list.
What changes for your business

Common questions
What does archiving a job do in DIRT?
Archiving moves the job out of your active jobs list without deleting anything. The full record stays intact — all line items, invoices, photos, and notes. Your active list gets clean; the history is safe and searchable.
Is archiving the same as deleting a job?
No. Deleted means gone permanently. Archived means stored and searchable but no longer showing in your active view. You can restore an archived job to active status at any time with one tap. Nothing gets wiped when you archive.
Can I restore an archived job?
Yes. Search for it by name or filter the jobs list to show archived jobs. Tap the job and restore it to active. Everything is exactly as you left it — line items, invoices, photos, and notes all come back with it.
When should I archive a job?
Archive a job when it's fully done — work complete, invoices paid, no outstanding items. It's also worth archiving old jobs from previous seasons to keep your active list useful. The rule: if you don't need to see it daily, get it out of the active view.
Does archiving a job affect my stats?
No. Archived jobs still count in your stats, profit history, and client records. Archiving only affects the view — it removes the job from the active list. Your numbers stay accurate.
How do I find a job I archived months ago?
Search by client name or job name from the jobs screen — DIRT searches archived jobs too. Or filter the list to show Archived and scroll to find it. Nothing is hidden from search; archived just means out of the daily view.
