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.
Deactivating an Asset
- 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.
Activating an Asset
- Navigate to Assets (Equipment), and select Manage Assets.
Locate the asset that you want to activate on the assets list.
Use filters to quickly find the desired assets.
Click the Actions button, select Activate Asset, and then confirm your action.
Viewing Deactivated Assets
Using the filters on the assets list, you can view which of your assets are deactivated.
- Navigate to the Manage Assets section.
- Check the box next to Show Deactivated Assets Only, and click Apply.
- Click the asset tag ID of the desired asset to see its details.
Deactivated assets will be displayed with their tag IDs in red.
