Archive a SharePoint list monthly

I can think of a kind of messy way to do it.

So you can schedule a site workflow to run every month (not sure how much control you have over the day of the month). Site workflow runs a query on your list and returns all items that meet your criteria (Status = Open or whatever). You then iterate the list, copying list values from the existing items, and then create archive list items and populate them with those values. Seems like that might work.

Just a thought: I've done things like this before. If you need to save the ID, Created By, Created, Modified By, or Modified from the original list, you'll want to create a field to hold that in the archive. E.g. if it's important to know who created the original list item, you'll want to set up a field for that in the archive.

Thanks Jeff. I am new to Nintex and workflows, so your answer sounds good but how do I implement it? Can you give me step by step instructions? Also, how can I have a field called "DateSaved" on my ArchiveProject list be populated with the date it was copied?

Thanks so much
