Deactivating a Profile or Source Record

If an object profile or source record is no longer active, you cannot delete the profile or record, but you can deactivate it. Once you deactivate a record, you can reactivate it if needed. Deactivating an object profile removes the potential duplicate listings for that profile. If you deactivate a source record, the survivor calculator determines what changes, if any, should be made to the SBR.

Deactivating an Object Profile

Deactivated profiles cannot be modified, and in some cases, cannot be viewed. If you deactivate a profile in error, you can reactivate it if needed.

ProcedureTo Deactivate an Object Profile

  1. Using one of the search methods described in Searching for Object Profiles on the MIDM, display the object profile you want to deactivate on the Record Details page.

  2. At the bottom of the page, click Deactivate.

    The profile is deactivated in the database and the EUID appears in beige on the MIDM.

Deactivating a Source Record

If an existing local ID for an object becomes obsolete, you can deactivate the source record with that local ID for the object profile. An object profile must have at least one active local ID; if you deactivate an object’s last active source record, the entire profile is deactivated. When you deactivate a source record from an object profile, the survivor calculator determines what changes, if any, should be made to the SBR.

You can deactivate a source record from the Record Details page, where you can view the source record within the context of its profile.
