To change the only the assignability parameters for a template (i.e. stage, department assignment etc.) of an existing template, the admin can simply "EDIT" that template. 


This operation allows the admin to change the assignment parameters in the "PROPERTIES" tab only and all other tabs (other than the "ACTIVATION" tab) will be Read Only.


To do this: 


Click on "My Templates" on the Admin panel  on the left hand side and go to the template that you need to make inactive. 


Click on the "EDIT" on the right hand side of the template name. 


This will take you to the template wizard's "PROPERTIES" tab and allow you to change the assignment parameters on this tab only. 


You can now change how this template applied, including which "LOCATIONS", which "DEPARTMENTS" etc. This is one way to "De-Assign" a template by deselecting the locations or departments. You can also select here whether the template needs to be tracked in the "Compliance Dashboard". 


Once you have EDITed the parameters on this tab, proceed to the "ACTIVATION" tab and activate the template as per your requirements.


If you need to change the actual content in a template (such as document, text placements or flow etc.) then you will need to create a "New Version" of the template. For this operation, please refer to:
