Overview

Hiboo offers a range of features to keep the inventory of the machines you operate up to date at all times.

ℹ️ Archiving, unarchiving and deleting can have an impact on your billing.

Basics

Archiving equipment

You can archive equipment from its profile page:

  1. Click on "More

  2. Click on "Archive asset".

  3. Select the reason for archiving.

Once the material has been archived:

  • The machine is removed from your inventory.

  • The data flow is cut off and you lose the data collected during the sharing period.

  • You retain access to the historical data of the share.

ℹ️ Archived equipment is distinguished from active equipment by an icon that you can find on its profile page, in report tables or in the general search.

You can find the list of archived equipment in Inventory > More > Archived.

Unarchiving equipment

You can unarchive a device either from the list of archived devices or from the profile page of the archived device.

  3. Click on "Unarchive".

On the archived material profile page, click on "Unarchive" in the status bar.

Once the material has been unarchived :

  • The machine reappears in your active inventory.

  • The data flow is restored and you recover the data collected.

  • You do not recover data from the archiving period.
