Inactivating or Reactivating an Employee Category

An item should be made inactive if you are setting up data and want to restrict its use until the item is completely set up or ready, or if you no longer require the item in any capacity but may want to reactivate it in the future.

When you inactivate an Employee Category:

  • It is no longer selectable from any forms or menus.
  • It can still appear in reports.
  • It does not appear in search results unless Inactive is selected from the Advanced menu.
  • If you inactivated the item in Central Office, the item becomes inactive in associated locations as well.

To inactivate an Employee Category

Note: An Employee Category cannot be inactivated if it is associated with an active employee. Also note that only the owner (as determined by the Owned By field) of an Employee Category can inactivate it.

  1. Locate the Employee Category and select it.
  2. Select Edit.
  3. Under Status, select the Active switch to toggle it to Inactive.
