In this article we will discuss that how we can make service catalog item and its workflow inactive in ServiceNow and how we can again set its workflow active in ServiceNow. At the bottom of this page video has been attached which will give complete information that how we can perform it practically.
So to proceed, lets take an example or use case to get better idea, Lets say we got a requirement to inactive the existing catalog item. We know that there is checkbox in catalog item i.e. active checkbox, through which we can make catalog item active and inactive, but doing only that is not a complete process. So, to inactive the catalog item completely we also have to perform below activities:
1. We have to Inactive the associated SLA's.
2. We have to Inactive the associated Workflow.
3. We have to check if there is dependency or any sought of thing etc.
4. And at last we have to make the catalog item inactive.
So here in this article we are only talking about that how we can set the Workflow inactive and active in ServiceNow.
