MEMORY AND LARGE NUMBER OF JOBS

[Paul Suggitt]

Hey group! 

i was wondering if someone knew a easy fix to the following. 

we use the software to control our production jobs, we have a column for finished where all of our jobs move to, although its getting big as each job will have multiple attachments and photos, the software has become slower and time consuming when uploading a new job due to teh amount of memory. 

is there a way of archiving the older jobs, always handy to pull on them for info tho as we have repeat jobs where we need to check certain detail.. or do i just need to delete each job one by one. 

thanks in advance

Hi @Paul Suggitt and welcome to the Community!

As you probably know, Jira Cloud and Standard plans have storage limits. If you need more storage, you can upgrade to a higher plan to unlock that, but of course at a higher cost.

Archiving your older jobs will not help there, at least not inside your Jira instance. They will still use space as long as they are there.

If deleting your old issues is an option, you can do so via a bulk operation. Navigate to Filters > Advanced Search and run a search for issues that were resolved e.g. more than 2 months ago:

resolved <= -60d

Then use the Bulk edit feature to delete those issues. Be careful: deleting issues in Jira is a very permanent operation. So make sure you are only deleting stuff you do not need any longer!

Hope this helps!
