Firstly, it’s important to note that an inactive employees do in fact count towards your total number of active employees. If an employee is active and you no longer want them to count towards your total, you will need to archive them.

Note: Making an employee inactive still counts towards your 'active' total. They need to be archived in order for them to no longer count.

This article will cover the following steps in how to archive and make active employee accounts in Schedule Xpress:

To make an employee archived, you should first visit your Manage people tab (red arrow) and search for your desired employee to archive (green arrow).

If you would like to archive just one employee, then you can double click on the desired employee and click the Edit employee button as shown below.

You can simply click the Status tab, choose Archived (red arrow), and save (green arrow) to ensure they are moved into the archive section of the database.

If you’d like to archive multiple employees, you can highlight them by taking advantage of the tick boxes to left of the employee names, and proceed to choosing the multiple employees you want to archive. Once you’ve made your choices, click the orange Update employee tab in the top right hand corner (red arrow). The number shown in this tab will be in relation to how many employees you have ticked for selection.

Tick the Status option under the first tab.

Then, proceed to change the status to Archived as illustrated by the red arrow. Once this option is selected, you can click the button in the bottom right hand corner (green arrow) to save the changes.

To view the archived list of employees, you’ll need to change the Employee status list (red arrow). Make sure you press the Apply button (green arrow) to confirm that you’d like to view the archived list.

Here, you’ll find your archived employees. If you’d like to make them active again, repeat the process in the opposite order.

Archiving employees is a good way of controlling the amount of employees in your total available count. Keeping on top of this useful tool will help you to manage your time more effectively and ensure that your workforce is utilized efficiently.
