Deactivating a rule

An alternative to deleting a rule is to deactivate it. This functionality is useful if you do not want a rule to run in the InForm application, but you want it to remain in the Central Designer database, or if you want to suspend execution of the rule on a temporary basis.

Deactivated rules are:

• Validated in the Central Designer application.
• Deployed to the InForm application.
• Run only manually in the InForm application.

To deactivate a rule:

1. In the Project Explorer, select a study design (in a study only), study element, study event, form, section, or item.

   The editor for the study object appears in the workspace.

2. Select the Rules tab.
3. In the grid, select a rule, and click Edit.

   The Rule Wizard appears without the Quick Start tab.

4. Select the Preconditions tab.
5. In the Evaluate on Event drop-down list, select On Demand (Batch Mode).
6. Click Finish.
