Archive or remove?
- Archive: All of the company’s employees are archived on this site and lose access; documents are no longer required. You can undo this with “Unarchive” in the same place. The employees are unarchived as well, but their access zones are not restored automatically – they have to be assigned again.
- Remove company: The company and all of its subcontractors are removed from the site. Before you confirm, Bausicht shows which companies are affected. This cannot be undone, and you lose access to all company and employee data of these companies.
