Deactivated teams don’t appear when you search for a team, but will still display in Home Team and Other Teams if the user was assigned to the team prior to deactivation.

Deactivate a team

Any work assigned to the team prior to deactivation remains assigned. We recommend reassigning work before you deactivate the team.

TIP
You can create a report to filter for any tasks or issues where the deactivated team is still assigned.

When using request queues, if you deactivate a team assigned as the default team in a routing rule, the team remains and requests are still routed to the deactivated team. We recommend updating routing rules with active teams before you deactivate the team.

  1. Click the Main Menu icon in the upper-right corner of Adobe Workfront, then click Teams.
