About Archiving a Device

• Archiving a device will allow you to view the historical data and historical excursions that may have occurred without having to continue to collect samples of data.
• Archiving a device will remove the device from your subscription so that it is not charged for a reoccurring subscription or counted towards your subscription tier.
• Archiving a device can be paired with locations by creating a location for archived devices on the account.

Note: Archiving a device is permanent and cannot be undone. Ensure that you no longer need the device for ongoing monitoring.
