About disabling workflow rules

You cannot disable an individual workflow rule or global condition. However, if you disable a workflow, all workflow rules and global conditions associated with the workflow are disabled.

Note: This functionality only applies to the current workflow, and does not apply to child workflows. For example, if you disable a workflow at the study design level, the child workflows at the event or form level are not disabled.

When you deploy a study with a disabled workflow, the forms associated with that workflow appear in the InForm application in the order specified by their sequence numbers in the Workflow Diagram.

If you deploy to an InForm release prior to release 6.1.1:

Disabled rules are not validated in the Central Designer application.
Disabled rules are excluded from the deployment package.
A validation warning appears and indicates that the study contains disabled rules.

If you deploy a study to InForm release 6.1.1 or later:

Disabled rules are deployed to the InForm application as read-only.
A validation warning appears and indicates that the study contains disabled rules.
