Mark active/inactive

As mentioned in above panel, when it comes to deleting a team, it becomes a tedious job to remove all user/OKRs associations. These situations might create problems wherein teams are formed & disbanded frequently & OKRs shouldn't be removed from the system. To solve this issue, we have added the ability to mark the team as active/inactive. You can also filter teams with their statuses.

When teams are marked inactive these are few quick facts you need to keep in mind -

You cannot add or remove team members from inactive team/s.
You cannot search inactive teams while creating objectives, sharing objectives/feedback, distributing forms, etc.
You can filter active/inactive teams with a status filter on ‘Teams’ tab.
You can not mark a team as inactive if it's a parent or children team, you should remove the hierarchy to mark it as inactive.
Marking team inactive does not impact on UpRaise access of its team members.

You can execute all above actions from team profile too. Click on the relevant team name/search it from global search option and then click on in the top right corner. Execute desired action.
