Deactivating department-specific trash rules

Last published : Oct 15, 2026
To deactivate a department-specific trash rule
  1. In the left navigation pane, click Departments.
  2. Search for and select the department for which you want to activate a trash rule.
  3. Navigate to the Trash tab.
  4. Select an activated trash rule you want to deactivate, and then click Deactivate on the action bar.
    Note: If an application-specific trash rule is deactivated, the scope indicates Application. A deactivated application-specific trash rule creates a department-specific trash rule with a deactivated status. This process ensures that Arctera Surveillance ignores the global application-specific trash rule that was previously propagated to the selected department.
