Automatically Archive Projects that are 100% mapped and validated

Open SColchester opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Problem Project creators are instructed to archive projects once they are 100% mapped and validated but they often don't archive their completed projects. This clutters the Tasking Manager with 'Published' projects which cannot be contributed to. Tasking Manager admins sink a lot of time into manually archiving these projects and following up with the project creators.

Solution Once a project reaches 100% mapped and validated, automatically trigger an immediate status change for that project to shift from 'Published' -> 'Archived' - ideally with a message to the project creator to notify them.

Additional context There is really no reason to keep a project which is 100% mapped and validated active as a 'Published' project, once projects are archived they can still be found and searched for by the public.

There is a large backlog of 100% mapped and validated projects which are not archived. If this change could also work to change the status of those (as well as newer projects that reach the 100% mark) this would be very valuable and a big time-saver.

@RAytoun's input: message project creator to do a third pass check for data quality before automatically archiving

Added this issue to Tasking Manager Project Gardening 2024 Wiki mentioning that if this issue is solved it will contribte to making the manual Gardening process redundant in the future - which would be great!
