Archive Cases

As time passes by, your exchange folder will be accumulated with support cases mostly resolved ones. With the Archive cases tool, helpdesk managers can archive old support cases periodically to a local PST file that are older than a certain (user-selected) date. It moves the support case items out of the exchange resolved folder and places it into another .PST file specifically. By doing so, it keeps the exchange folder from getting too big and unwieldy, which could cause Exchange/Microsoft Outlook performance to slow down.


 

Specify the file path of the Outlook PST to be used for archiving the selected support cases.
 
Browse the folders to choose an existing Outlook PST file.
 
Create a new Outlook PST file for archiving.
 
Select what date filter to used to determine which all cases are to be archived. There are two filters available:

1) Till this date - Allows you to choose a specific date that would be used to return all support cases that were closed before that particular date.

2) date range - Allows you to choose a start and end dates so that all support cases that were closed between that dates are returned and available for selection for archiving.


Show all support cases that satisfies the specified date filter.
 
The support cases that are available for archiving are listed in the list. The list is arranged by case number, subject and date closed. Before archiving could be performed, you need to mark each case item for archiving. You do that by checking each box of the item.


Checking this option would use or create a subfolder in the archived PST that has the same name as that of the specified date filter so that all the selected support cases can moved to this subfolder.
 
Allows you to select or create a new subfolder within the archived PST so that all the selected support cases can be moved.
