How I can deactivate the unnecessary entity?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi All
We are doing the cleaning for our CRM system. The client did the request for deactivation of the unnecessary entities.
How I can do it?

Thanks advance.

    Hi

    The main question is do you need any of the data? if you do need it i would go down the permissions route, If you don't then i would just delete the entity

    Hi Mark.

    I thought exactly the same, but I found the following: stackoverflow.com/.../activating-and-deactivating-entities-in-dynamics-crm-from-java-api - deactivation by state

    And it put out of countenance me...

    Or this is deactivation for record only?

    Hi Nataly

    I would just remove the permissions (security roles) from everyone and keep the entity there in the background
