Hi everyone!
I'm taking this down-time to do some system cleanup and was wondering how you all handle old lists?
Currently, I've been inactivating them, but some are over a year old (either create date or last generated). Is deleting lists a no-no, or does it really depend on if you think a specific list will ever be used again?
Thanks! I know it's different based on each organization, but I'd love to hear your best practices!
Thank you all for your input! I've also tried to show folks how to re-use lists, but to no avail. I'll create some type of internal arbitrary date and use that going forward
I would still consider finding a way to flag lists that should not ever be deleted: probably by using a List Category (or multiple List Categories). For instance, we have sets of lists that we use for data integrity, and others that we use for managing communication preferences.
We have a control group "archive do not delete"
We have an Archive control group, too - based on some recommendations I heard at TLCC one year, I think. I *love* it.
