How to Retire Ranking Rules

 

When you no longer need a ranking rule, you can archive or delete it.

Archive ranking rules

When you no longer need a ranking rule, but you might need to re-create or reuse it later, you can archive it. Archiving removes the rule from the list of currently running rankings and places it in the Archive. You can still view and modify it but FHR no longer applies it.

You can later restore it from the Archive and use it again.

 

Delete ranking rules

If you no longer need a rule and you don't expect to need it in the future, you can delete it. Deleting removes the rule from the list of ranking rules and places it in the Recycle bin.

This operation places the rule in the Recycle bin. After the rule has spent 30 days there, FHR deletes it permanently, and you cannot restore it.
