Set work permit type to obsolete

If you no longer need a Work Permit type, you can set it to Obsolete. This might be because you have created a newer version of a Work Permit with an updated form. Existing forms of an Obsolete type will still be active; however, no new forms of a type marked Obsolete can be created.

Note: You cannot set the Default type to Obsolete.

What happens when form type is obsolete

Setting the type to Obsolete does the following:

• Prevents new Work Permits of this type being created.

• Prevents deactivating a Work Permit type before all the Work Permits of this type are Closed or Canceled.

• Existing forms of this type will still be active; however, no new forms of a type marked Obsolete can be created.
