Inactivating or Reactivating a Block Type

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 a Block Type:

  • Time in the Appointment Book already using this Block Type, both past and future, remain unchanged.
  • 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.

  3. Under Status, select the Active switch to toggle it to Inactive.
