There are times when assets need to be taken out of service. In cases like this, assets can be deactivated. This could be due to a seasonal increase or decrease in need or a prolonged repair process. Regardless of the reason, rather than remove an asset from the database, you can deactivate it and then reactivate it when the need arises.

- Navigate to Assets (Equipment), and select Manage Assets.
Locate the asset that you want to deactivate on the assets list.
Use filters to quickly find the desired assets.
Click the Actions button, select Deactivate Asset, and then confirm your action.
Your asset has been deactivated. This asset appears on the list with an asset tag ID highlighted in red.
