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 deleting a model record permanently removes the historical information from the repository. Changing the status to inactive lets you retain the model information for future reporting and reference.

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 that are based on the model and manually indicate that they are inactive.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Model and search for the list of available models.
2. Click the model that you want to make inactive and select the Inactive check box.
3. Click Save.
