There are 3 different multiple ways of making a field or record unavailable within the TIS UI, the uses have not been applied consistently across the front end/back end, however the general summary is as follows:
| Type | Functional Description | Error | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Delete (status) | Users can apply a status of "delete" to a particular record, which would mean that the record would be deleted from the front end Example: | ||
| 2 | Inactive (status) | Users can apply a status of "Inactive" to a particular record or reference data field, which would mean that the record or field is made temporarily unavailable Example | ||
| 3 | Trash can | Users can click on the trash can next to a field and permanently remove data from TIS Example: Placement record | ||
| 4 | Minus | Users can click on the minus sign next to a field and permanently remove it from TIS Example: | ||
| 5 | X | Users can click on the X sign next to a field and permanently remove it from TIS Example: | ||
| 6 | Dates from/to | Users can specify an end date, which would make the related record or fields Inactive after that date has elapsed Example: |
- Delete (status)

- drop downs for reference tables will not display anything that has been made with an inactive status
- records containing inactive data will not be flagged, but editing my present errors
- assessment records may become legacy, and no changes will be possible once this kicks in
