Remove a global artifact type

When a global artifact type becomes obsolete, you may want to make it unavailable for addition to projects.

An inactive artifact type cannot be associated with new projects. However, if you deactivate a global artifact type after it is associated with a project, users can still create artifacts of that type in that project.
  1. Go to the Project Tracker administration page.
    1. Click Admin in the CollabNet TeamForge navigation bar.
    2. On the site administration navigation bar, click Integrated App.
    3. Select Project Tracker and click Configure.
  2. Check that the artifact type you want to deactivate is not in use.

    You cannot delete global artifact types if they are in use by one or more projects.

  3. On the Artifact types tab, clear (un-check) the Active checkbox for the artifact type you want to deactivate.
Note: When you deactivate a global artifact type, the Default checkbox is cleared even if it had been checked. If you re-activate the artifact type, the Default checkbox must be checked again if you want this artifact type to be designated a default.
