In the Project To Do List the availability status of each item is displayed. Next to each item in the grid of the Project To Do List is displayed a visual indication of the items availability. There are three status types:
Active
Item is copied with all relations and properties. Can be fully edited or deleted in the target project.
Inactive
Item cannot be edited nor deleted in the target project, and is available in the Project as view only, for system data integrity. An Inactive (Dummy) Item exists only in Projects (not in the As-Built/Project Center). Copying an inactive item back to the As-Built/Project Center does not rewrite the existing As-Built/Project Center item.
Semi–Active
Item properties can be edited, but item relations and documents are not available.
For example- An instrument which is Semi-Active:
All its properties and UDFs are available for editing.
The Documents associated with the Instrument (Spec. / PD / Calculation sheets are not available).
You can change the availability status. See Changing the Availability Status of As-Built/Project Items.
