[Contractors](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#contractors) # Exporting, Archiving, Deleting and Designating Contractors ## Keep your contractor list accurate and easy to manage. Tick the checkbox next to each contractor you want to work with underneath the **Contacts** and **Companies** tabs. Four icons then appear above the list: **Export**, **Archive**, **Delete** and **Designate**. Hover over an icon to see its name. To select every contractor on the page, tick the checkbox in the table header. Untick all boxes to hide the icons again. ![](https://support.mybos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-07-2026-04-25-06-4622-AM.png?width=670&height=281&name=image-png-Oct-07-2026-04-25-06-4622-AM.png)   ### Exporting contractors **Step 1:** Go to **Contractors** and open the **Contacts** or **Companies** tab. **Step 2:** Use the **All Company**, **All Categories** or search options to find the contractors you need. **Step 3:** Tick the contractors you want to include. **Step 4:** Click the **Export** icon, which will start an Excel download. ![](https://support.mybos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-07-2026-10-46-58-3909-PM.png?width=33&height=31&name=image-png-Oct-07-2026-10-46-58-3909-PM.png)   ### Archiving contractors Archive contractors you no longer use but want to keep a record of, for example a company that has stopped working at your building. **Step 1:** Tick the contractors you want to archive. **Step 2:** Click the **Archive** icon and confirm when asked. **Note:** You can delete Contacts associated with Contractors, but you cannot Archive Contacts within a Contractor. ![](https://support.mybos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-07-2026-10-47-28-6444-PM.png?width=30&height=28&name=image-png-Oct-07-2026-10-47-28-6444-PM.png)   ### Deleting contractors **Step 1:** Tick the contractors you want to remove. **Step 2:** Click the **Delete** icon and confirm when asked. ![](https://support.mybos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-07-2026-11-30-17-4426-PM.png?width=24&height=28&name=image-png-Oct-07-2026-11-30-17-4426-PM.png) Deleting a Contractor is a permanent action. If you might need their history later, archive them instead.   ### Designating contractors to buildings Designate lets you make the same contractor available at other buildings, so you don't need to enter their details again at each one. **Step 1:** Tick the contractors you want to share. **Step 2:** Click the **Designate** icon. The **Designate Contractor(s) To Buildings** window opens and lists the buildings you can choose from, showing Name, Strata Plan, Apartments, Address, Suburb and State. **Step 3:** Tick each building you want the contractors designated to. **Step 4:** Click **Save**. To leave without changing anything, click **Close**. ![](https://support.mybos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-07-2026-11-30-47-0779-PM.png?width=33&height=33&name=image-png-Oct-07-2026-11-30-47-0779-PM.png) ![](https://support.mybos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-07-2026-05-18-35-5054-AM.png?width=576&height=370&name=image-png-Oct-07-2026-05-18-35-5054-AM.png)   ### Showing and hiding columns Click the column icon at the top right of the list to choose which columns to display, and use the reset icon next to it to return to the default columns. ![](https://support.mybos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-07-2026-11-38-20-3402-PM.png?width=37&height=31&name=image-png-Oct-07-2026-11-38-20-3402-PM.png) - [Getting Started](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en-au) - [Features](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#main-content) - [Building Manager Dashboard](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#building-manager-dashboard) - [Community](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#community) - [Marketplace](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#marketplace) - [Cases](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#cases) - [Messages](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#messages) - [Calendar](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#calendar) - [Maintenance Schedule](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#maintenance-schedule) - [Building](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#building) - [Keys](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#keys) - [Parcels](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#parcels) - [Contractors](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#contractors) - [On-Site Check In](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en-au#on-site-check-in) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-au#main-content) - [FAQ](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-au#faq) - [Administrator](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/administrator?hsLang=en-au#main-content) - [Configuration](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/administrator?hsLang=en-au#configuration) - [MYBOS Web Platform](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/administrator?hsLang=en-au#mybos-web-platform) - [Reporting](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/administrator?hsLang=en-au#reporting) - [Building Manager](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/building-manager?hsLang=en-au#main-content) - [Building Managers - Web Portal](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/building-manager?hsLang=en-au#building-managers-web-portal) - [Building Configuration](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/building-manager?hsLang=en-au#building-configuration) - [Residents](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/building-manager?hsLang=en-au#residents) - [Maintenance & Work Orders](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/building-manager?hsLang=en-au#maintenance-work-orders) - [Communication](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/building-manager?hsLang=en-au#communication) - [Community & Amenities](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/building-manager?hsLang=en-au#community-amenities) - [Reporting](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/building-manager?hsLang=en-au#reporting) - [Integrations](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/building-manager?hsLang=en-au#integrations) - [Residents](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/residents?hsLang=en-au#main-content) - [Resident App](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/residents?hsLang=en-au#resident-app) - [Resident - Web Portal](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/residents?hsLang=en-au#resident-web-portal) - [MYBOS Solutions](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/mybos-solutions?hsLang=en-au) - [Feature Updates](https://support.mybos.com/knowledge-base/feature-updates?hsLang=en-au) [![MYBOS Logo](https://support.mybos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MYBOS-Logo-Apr-11-2025-02-01-58-5626-AM.png?width=300&height=59&name=MYBOS-Logo-Apr-11-2025-02-01-58-5626-AM.png "MYBOS Logo")](http://mybos.com) Suite 1.01 Level 1, 6 Parkview Drive Sydney Olympic Park New South Wales, 2127 Australia Copyright © 2026, mybos.com
