Deactivate a function field

The user who created a function field or a user with the admin role can deactivate it. If a table already has 20 function fields, you must deactivate one or more existing fields before creating another.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Procedure

1. Navigate to sys_reports.list and select New.
2. Select the report with the function field to deactivate.
3. Open the Configure tab and select Configure function field.
4. Optional: Enter text in the Search functions box to find the function field you want to deactivate.
5. Select the function field and choose Deactivate.
   If one or more reports use the function field, you see a link to a list of those reports. You can review the list, choose Deactivate anyway, or select Cancel.
6. Confirm the deactivation or cancel.

Result

The deactivated function field is no longer available for use in the reports on the table that it was based on.

Note:

When you deactivate a field, the user list preference is deleted.
