Archive Anomalies

Archive an anomaly to close it with a resolution that says why. An archived anomaly leaves the open list but stays available, with its history, for reference. Archive one anomaly from the list or from its page, or several at once.

Permissions

Archiving an anomaly requires the Author team permission on its datastore. See Anomaly Permissions.

Choose the resolution on purpose

Resolved and Invalid also tell Qualytics how well an AI Managed check is doing, and an anomaly archived as Duplicate is never reopened by a later Scan. See Anomaly Status.
