There may be situations where a specific resource does not need to be active at the moment, but there is a possibility that it may need to be reactivated in the future. In these cases, it is often more practical to deactivate the resource rather than keep it active without purpose. While regulatory requirements prevent the complete deletion of resource records, deactivation offers the flexibility needed for potential future use.

To change a resource's status whether to activate or deactivate it please follow these steps:

• Begin by locating the side menu on your screen clicking on your screen and clicking on the "Resources" option. After doing this, you will be directed to the Resource Management page, where you will see a comprehensive list of all resources previously entered into the system, along with their respective details.
  
• On the Resource Management page. If you have multiple resources listed, it may be helpful to use the filtering options available in this section to refine your search.
  
• Next to each resource entry there is an action button, Click on this button to open a contextual menu offering options to either activate or deactivate the selected resource. If the resource is currently marked as active, the menu will display the option "Deactivate". Conversely, if the resource is currently inactive, the option will be labeled "Activate"
  
  
• After you have successfully adjusted the status of the resource, The system will automatically refresh the resource list after you make changes. This refresh ensures that the updated information regarding the resource's status is accurately reflected.

It’s important to note that once a resource is marked as inactive, it will only be visible on the Resource Management page. In contrast, active resources will appear on all other relevant pages throughout the system, enhancing accessibility and management.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage the activation and deactivation of your resources, ensuring that their status aligns with your current needs and future plans.
