Asset Registration Status

During the asset registration process, the registrar assigns a status to the asset using the Administration tab in the Asset Editor.

Active
Available for use.
Inactive
In the repository, but unavailable for general use. Inactive assets can be re-activated or retired. Inactive assets show up in searches, but cannot be selected for use (the Use - Download button is not displayed).
Retired
In the repository, but retired from general use. Retired assets can be re-activated or made inactive. Retired assets cannot be selected for use (the Use - Download button is not displayed), nor will they show up in searches. However, retired assets remain available as related assets to active or inactive assets in the repository.
Deleted
Removed from the repository. Deleted assets cannot be recovered and their status reassigned.

Assigning or Changing an Asset's Status

This procedure is performed in the Asset Editor.

Use Search or browse the Asset Editor file tree to locate the source asset or compliance template to be migrated.
Click the Administration tab.
In the Status drop-down, select the status to be assigned to the asset.
Save the asset.

Note: Depending on the assigned status, the asset may disappear from the tree (Deleted) or be unavailable for user searches (Inactive or Retired).
