Include the active field in the model definition if it's not already present.

active = fields.Boolean(string="Active", default=True)

Add a filter to show archived records in the search view if required.

<record id="view_my_model_search" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">my.model.search</field> <field name="model">my.model</field> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <search> <filter string="Archived" domain="[('active', '=', False)]"/> </search> </field> </record>
