Hi all,
Any orgs have working best practices around cleaning up Lists that they'd be willing to share?
I've always let the lists pile up without worrying too much about them, but recently I've had users asking me to mass inactivate their lists. It's led me to wonder if I should/could delete them? Or, more safely, dump them all into an Archived folder?
Interested to hear what others are doing, if anything? What about when staff leave? Do you reassign their lists?
Thanks,
Frannie
I would also be highly interested in what others are doing here as I really do not have any big ideas in this area and would love some input.
The one thing that I do currently do is to just reuse the same two lists over and over for one time, random pulls. I call them "Random One Use" and "Random Two Use" and it has kept the number of lists that I personally create down to a minimum since these are merely temporary placeholders (I have been working here for over 5 years and the number of lists that I have created can still fit all onto one screen). I have two in case I am working on two things at once or need to compare things; the system could easily be modified to include a third placeholder if needed, but thus far I have not needed one.
That said, most of everything that I do involves just random pulls once that I will not ever need again so this system works well for me. On the other hand, that is just me, and there are hundreds of lists created by other staff members that pay no attention to inactivating and/or deleting them after the fact (my placeholder solution has not yet caught on with the rest of the organization at this point in time). Thus my interest in this thread.
