Show Inactive Policies

It is possible to activate or de-activate a certain policy. You can do this via a checkbox on the page where you define a certain policy. To see how to do this, go to the Manage Communication Policies page.

Deactivating a policy means that you invalidate the policy, it will not be deleted, you can restore it anytime you want.
Inactive policies do not show up by default when you list all policies.

Clicking on the Show Inactive Policies button at the top right corner of the page, you can see all the records, including the inactive ones.
After this the button changes to Hide Inactive Policies, and until you switch back to the default mode, you will be able to see the inactive ones.Â
