Hi,

Understand there's a threshold limit of ~25K for the list items that can be added to SharePoint list and my solution will have more than 25K entry per quarter. Thus I need to do some archiving to the list. 

 

I was thinking to archive a list based on status to another list. Created a site workflow to copy the items to new list but it only copied the data not the entire nintex forms. I need to have exactly like the original list. 

 

Can anyone help on how can I perform this or any idea on what's the best way to do archiving for SP list?

 

Appreciate you advice. Thanks. 

@bella28 You can manage large lists in SharePoint by applying the below solutions:



Solution #1: Index Columns Used as View Filters.





  1. Filter all views so that they cannot return more than the threshold limit (such as [Created] is greater than or equal to [Today]-120 to only return the last four months of data)


  2. Index all columns used in list view filters ([Created], [Department], [Location], [Agent], etc.) You can index up to 20 columns.



    1. Go to List Settings


    2. Under “Columns” select “Indexed Columns”


    3. Click “Create a new index”


    4. Change primary column to the column on which you’re filtering and click Create








Solution #2: Increase the Threshold



 Please know that thresholds exist for a reason, however, and from a scalability viewpoint this may not be the best action to take as it can affect performance.


Is there anyway to create workflow that can be created to auto-archive?
