What
In the Nobi application, departments—just like housing units, users, and residents—can be archived and later reactivated. Once reactivated, they are restored to active status.
Why
Reactivating a department allows you to pick up where you left off. This ensures past data remain intact. If a department becomes active again after a temporary closure or repurposing, you won’t lose any history. Reactivating also supports accurate reporting, smooth workflows, and compliance with internal protocols. With just a few steps, you restore a department without needing to recreate it from scratch.
