Here are the instructions on how to Archive timesheets:

1. Open the Lotus Notes client.
2. Copy the Timesheets database, through the Lotus Notes Action menu by clicking File --> Database --> New copy...], and using the 'Database design only' option. Make sure the Access Control List checkbox is selected. Change the title and file name and make sure to copy it in the same folder as your other GP databases.
3. Modify the ACL if needed.
4. In the source database, copy the General setup document located in the 'Setup\General' view of the 'Setup & Administration' dialog.
5. Paste it in the corresponding view of the new database.

       Databases tab.

    2. Select how you want to select the archive period.
    3. According to your previous choice, enter a date or a number of weeks (and not a week number, as translated).
