Make an Obsolete Model Inactive

As a best practice, change the status of an obsolete model to inactive rather than deleting the model. For example, after replacing all Dell Precision Workstation 410 computers with laptops, you can change the status of the associated model to inactive.

We recommend this approach because when you delete a model record, the historical information is permanently removed from the repository. In this way, you retain the model information in your repository for future reporting and reference purposes.

Note: Changing the status to inactive has no impact on the assets that are based on the model. If you want the assets to be inactive, search for the assets based on the model and manually indicate that they are inactive.
