Deactivate a time period rule

By default, time period rules are active when created. If a time period rule no longer works for you, you can permanently remove it from the time period, or you can temporarily deactivate it. You can do so only when the time period is in the first phase of the workflow.

To deactivate a time period rule, follow these steps:

Navigate to Time Period Management > Search Time Periods, and then open the time period record that contains the rule.
In the Rules section, click the rule and then deselect the Active option.

Note : If the time period was approved and back to the first phase, the existing rules are read-only, and you should click the Deactivate Rule button instead.
Click Save to save the rule, and then click Save & Exit.

In the Occurrences section of the time period, all future occurrences based on this inactive rule are now removed.
