We are new to Ataccama’s RDM app and have a question regarding the retiring and archiving of reference data.  It appears that “Published” is that last state for reference data within the app. Any workflow statuses that we would create for custom workflow happens between “Edited” and “Published”, by design, so there does not seem to be the ability to create a “retired” state.

Yes, we could use versioning and create a business date that could be used in querying/filtering the data, but that both adds unnecessary complexity AND the data still “shows” in the Published view mode. In terms of the application, we could also delete the data, but we have various user groups that do not delete data as best practice, and don’t want to go that route. 

What have others done to reflect “retired/archived” reference data?
