Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens to an inactive user’s data if I reassign it immediately?
A: Completed activities remain under the original user. Outstanding tasks and reassigned records move to the new owner.

Q: What if I wait to reassign an inactive user’s data?
If you prefer to reassign data later, navigate to the Inactive Users tab, click the three dots next to the user, and select 'Reassign Data' when you’re ready.

Q: What’s the best way to replace a user?
A: Mark the current user inactive first, then invite the new user. Reassign data as needed to ensure accurate records.

Q: Will a user know they’ve been marked inactive?
A: They lose access immediately and will see the login screen if they try to sign in. No notification is sent.
