Can I delete a rule category or subcategory?

A rule category or subcategory can not be deleted, but it can be inactivated if it is no longer needed.

Inactivated categories or subcategories will no longer appear when users create or edit rules. Any items that reference the inactivated categories or subcategories will continue to display the correct information, but no new or modified items will include them. 

When a category or subcategory is reactivated, the categories will again appear when users create or edit rules. 

To inactivate a rule category or subcategory:

• Navigate to System Settings.
• Under the Admin Settings column, select Rule Category.
• Locate the category or subcategory you would like to inactivate, and click the Inactivate option to the right.

To activate a rule category or subcategory:

• Uncheck the option Hide Inactive above the list of categories or subcategories.
• Locate the category or subcategory you would like to Activate, and click the Activate option to the right.

For more information about managing categories, see the Rule Categories section under the System Settings.
