Archive a Program Review Cycle
This Archive Program Review feature enhances the way you manage completed program review cycles within our system. This improvement is designed to provide greater organization and efficiency for both administrators and leads. You can now remove completed program review cycles from your working area. This ensures that your working space remains clutter-free, especially when dealing with ongoing and upcoming program reviews.
Admins and Leads now have the ability to archive program reviews that are completed or not in use. The archived Program Review will be listed under the “Archived" tab under the program review module, allowing users to seamlessly archive active program reviews.
An option is provided for admins and leads to reactivate archived program reviews when necessary, seamlessly transitioning between active and archived states.
To archive a program review, there should be no ongoing or created feedback flow. Users can only archive a program review if the feedback flow review is completed in all stages by the reviewer.
Users can access the archived program review to view all the existing information in read-only mode. While users cannot add new information, nor cannot submit the program review, the option to export the program review in PDF and Word formats is available, ensuring easy retrieval and reference.
When a program review is archived, the feedback flow report becomes accessible in the docs and reports of the respective program for which the feedback is completed by the reviewer and for the Programs which is just submitted but not reviewed by user will display the report in docs and reports area. Similarly when a program is not submitted and when report is not generated, then on user accessing the program from docs and report will redirect the user to the Overview page of the Program review. Reactivating an archived program review will make the program review reappear in the "In Progress" tab and the project tracker accordingly.
In the evidence area, users can only view uploaded evidence but cannot manage them. This restriction ensures data integrity while providing a comprehensive view of evidence associated with the program review.
The site map now dynamically adjusts based on the presence of active or archived program reviews. If there are no active or archived program reviews, the respective options will not be listed in the site map, offering a cleaner and more focused user experience.
Note: Contributors will not be able to see the differentiation in site map listing of program reviews, archived program review and Active program reviews are listed together under my program reviews. Contributors also will not be able to add/remove information or submit program reviews in the archived state.
