Deactivate and Reactivate Assets

You can deactivate assets that do not need to be monitored, such as assets created for projects and campaigns that have completed. Deactivated assets are hidden from the Operations Center map, by default. Deactivated assets do not generate device data and rules are not applied to such assets.

For hierarchical assets, you must deactivate the asset at the parent asset level. You cannot deactivate a child asset separately.

You can choose to reactivate a previously deactivated asset.

You can deactivate an asset from either the Design Center > Asset Inventory page or the Operations Center > Assets page.

1. Click Menu (), and then click Design Center.
2. Select Asset Inventory from the Design Center sub-menu.

   You can use the Filter to search for individual assets based on asset attributes such as name, description, location, and type.

4. Click Edit against the asset row.
5. Click Deactivate Asset adjacent to the asset status.
