    Be careful when archiving a field. It has the following impacts on your Insights:
    • Removes the field from Account List Views
    • Removes the field from Account Identity and Trends
    • Removes the field from Segments that use it as criteria and updates Segment memberships accordingly
    • Removes the field from Segment Metrics and Trends
    • Discontinues synchronizing the field to Salesforce
    • Discontinues field calculations if the archived field is a Calculated Field
