Why do we auto archive events in Launchmetrics?

Archiving events is important to the preservation of data at the time of the event, i.e let's say Jasmine worked worked at DMR in 2018 and attended the "Great Fashion Show". If you archived the event after the show, the reports will show the invitee as "Jasmine at Fashion GPS". However if you did not archive your event shortly after the event had finished and Jasmine had moved into a new role working a "Launchmetrics", the event from 2018 would show that "Jasmine from Launchmetrics" attended the event which is not true. 

Automatically archiving events allows you to understand who and from what publications are supporting your Designers/Events. 

One last thing to note is once an Event has been archived, it's not possible to unarchive the event.

If you have further questions, please reach out to the support team (support@launchmetrics.com).
