# How to archive diseases

We often receive the question: “*How can I shorten the list of diseases, so only the most frequently used options appear during daily entry?*” Below, we explain this step by step.

Go to** 1.6 Health Event List **(Management → Herd Data→ Health Event List).
You can archive diseases all at once or adjust them manually one by one.

### **1. Archiving diseases all at once**

- Click the **[Archive Items]** button.
- The following message will appear:
  *“Warning, all items which have not been used for at least 1 year will be set to ‘Not In Use’. Continue?”*
- Click** [Yes] **to shorten the list. Only active diseases (without a checkmark in the last column) will remain visible.

### **2. Adjusting manually**

- Click on a disease in the list.
- Add or remove the checkmark next to **“Not in use” **to include or exclude it from the archive.

### Result

When entering an insemination or assigning a disease during daily entry, you will notice that the list of options has become significantly shorter.
