This article shows you how to archive/delete a Service Category, how to restore a category, and discusses the effects of both actions.
In this Article
Archiving a Service Category
Go to Manager > Categories > Service Categories.
Check the box beside the category/categories you wish to remove, then click Archive.
What Happens to Services in the Service Category?
When you archive a service category, you will also archive all of the services within that category, and those services will no longer be bookable.
If you have multiple locations in Phorest, archiving a service category will only archive it in the location you are currently viewing, and will not affect the category (or services within that category) in your other locations.
Restoring an Archived Service Category
If you want to restore a service category that has been archived, click Archived first to view your list of archived service categories.
Then, check the box beside the category/categories you wish to restore, and click Restore.
Restoring a Service Category will not result in any archived services being restored. Unlike archiving, which also archives the services within the category, restoring only affects the category itself. Any archived services will remain archived and can be restored manually.
