Activate/Inactivate code list

In CTMS, you can manage the availability of a code list within the system. Activating a code list makes it usable across CTMS, while inactivating it removes it from active use without deleting it—helping maintain accuracy and relevance in data selection.

To activate or inactivate a code list
  1. In the CTMS application header, select the LIBRARY tab.

  2. On the page that opens, from the left pane, select the Code List subtab.

  3. From the Code List table, locate the needed code list and do one of the following:

    • Next to the activated code list, from the Action(s) column, select Inactivate inactivate_icon.png to inactivate the code list.

  4. In the Reason dialog that opens, enter the reason for inactivating or activating the code list. Then select SAVE.

Once saved, the code list is activated or inactivated. The inactivated code list cannot be used across CTMS.
