The Merge and Deactivate action enables you to preserve the project items as inactive in your project. After the items were merged from the Project To Do List to the As-Built/Project Center successfully, you can view the deactivated items when you open Domain Explorer on your project. Preserving the Items as Inactive in the source project, prevents other users from making future modifications to your project data.

After the project data is merged to the As-Built/Project Center, selecting Refresh, in the Domain Explorer displays the change. Deactivated project items will be marked with the PPM All Outputs Graphic Inactive icon. This option provides a visual distinction from Active items of the source project data, in the Domain Explorer.

The PTDL Merge and Deactivate Icon Merge and Deactivate icon (in the Project To Do List toolbar), is available only when the Domain Explorer is open on a Project, and the Project To Do List is open on As-Built/Project Center.

  • The Merge and Deactivate command is irreversible. The software displays a warning message, which allows you to cancel this action.

The following exclusions will not allow the deactivation of your project data:

  • Items in the Project To Do List with an Availability status of semi-active (are already considered inactive), and do not change their availability to inactive in the source project.

  • When Items have relations outside of the project scope, their availability status will not change. For example: you cannot merge and deactivate an instrument associated with a line if you have replaced or added line/s to the instrument after it was claimed to the Project To Do List. The reason is that the newly added or replaced line currently in the project (associated to the instrument), is not part of the project's scope. Therefore, items associated to the line must remain active.
