Archive SharePoint List Items

1. Create a template from the Main list:
   
   
   
   
   
2. Then create a new list - the Archive list - built on that template:
     
   
3. In SharePoint Designer, create a new workflow attached to the Main list and set it to start automatically when an item is changed.
   
   
   
   
4. Define the Conditions:
   
   
5. And the Actions:
   A.
   
   
   B.
   
   
6. If you wish to delete the ticket from the Main list, define another action to do that:
   
   
7. Check the workflow, and Finish if it is ok.
   
   
8. Close a test ticket in the Main list. Then it should show up in the Archive list. If you set an action to delete the item, the ticket should also disappear from the Main list.
