Inactivating a survey

[David Neustadt1]

Hello,

I have a survey defintion that is being replaced with a newly designed one. 

In terms of our old surveyu if I inactivate (Active = FALSE) our old survey definition record will this also render the related survey category, survey questions and assessment metric definitions from being seen or used also? Does inactivation of a survey definition cascade to the related survey category, survey questions and assessment metric definitions from being used also? I understand that inactivating a survey will render any open assessments with users assigned that survey from being completed however the previous survey results recorded will be preserved. Thanks

HI @David Neustadt1 ,
I trust you are doing great.
Here's a code snippet to programmatically inactivate a survey definition and its related entities if needed:

// Replace 'your_survey_sys_id' with the sys_id of the survey you want to inactivate
var surveySysId = 'your_survey_sys_id'; 

// Inactivate Survey Definition
var surveyGr = new GlideRecord('asmt_assessment_definition');
if (surveyGr.get(surveySysId)) {
    surveyGr.active = false;
    surveyGr.update();
}

// Optional: Inactivate related categories, questions, and metrics
// Note: This requires identifying the relationships and writing additional code

// Add your code here to inactivate related categories, questions, and metrics
