When a project is archived in BusyBusy, its budget no longer appears in your main Budgets list. However, you can still access archived project budgets at any time using filters. This helps you reference past job performance, compare actuals, or prepare for future bids.
View Archived Budgets (Web)
Sign in to BusyBusy on the web.
From the left navigation menu, select Budgets.
On the right side of the Budgets page, open the filters panel.
Under Active, choose Archived.
Select Apply.
All archived project budgets will now appear in the Budgets list.
You can select any archived project to view its full budget, including:
Planned hours and costs
Actual hours and costs
Cost code breakdowns
Progress (if enabled)
Subproject budgets
Archived budgets are fully viewable but cannot be edited.
View Both Active and Archived Budgets
If you want to see all budgets in one combined view:
Open the filters panel.
Under Active, choose All.
Select Apply.
This displays both active and archived project budgets together.
Best Practices
Use archived budgets as references when estimating similar future projects.
Review archived project actuals to understand where time or labor costs were higher than expected.
Keep your Budgets view clean by archiving completed projects regularly.
Switch to All view when you need a full historical overview.
Tip
Archiving a project hides it from most lists, but it never deletes your budget data. You can unarchive a project anytime from the Projects page if you need to make changes or reactivate work.
