Archiving a form is a good way to save a particular "state" of a form. Only saved forms can be archived since they are the only forms which could possibly contain data. When a form is archived, the form, it's elements, and all it's data are all saved in an archive file on the server. To retrieve an archived form, you need to contact your system administrator. Follow these steps to archive a form:
Make sure you are logged into an administrative account that has permissions to use the Form Generator.
From your Control Panel, select the Site Content tab.
Find and select the Form Generator module.
You will be shown a list of your current forms.
Find the form you wish to archive in the Saved Forms list and click it's Name.
On the Main Menu you will see an Archive option. Click Archive.
Your form will be archived on the server and you will be taken to the Report view of the form.
