Archive user fields

Learn how to archive user fields in your organization via the web app to reduce clutter so you can keep user information accurate and relevant.

What happens when I archive a user field?

Archiving a user field hides it across SafetyCulture and removes it from user profiles. The data stored in the field is retained. If you restore the field, your data becomes available again. To permanently remove a user field and its data, delete the field instead of archiving it.

To archive a custom field, remove it from all group and site membership rules and course assignment rules that reference it.
