Inactivating or Deleting List Items

  • Toggle off the List Item is Active option to prevent it from being used in the future.
  • List records that are inactivated will not appear in the dropdown controls.
  • When a list record is inactivated, any project, document, assignment records that rely on the list record will show the list abbreviation and or list Label as a read-only value.
    • In this situation, we recommend choosing another active list record.
  • Inactivated records can be restored at anytime by toggling the 'Is Active' setting to On.
