How do you make a relevant record unavailable in App Studio?

In App Studio, marking a relevant record as inactive from the Relevant Records landing page is an effective way to make the record unavailable without permanently removing it from the system. This approach allows for the record to be retained for potential future use or reference while simultaneously ensuring that it does not participate in current operations or be visible in user interfaces.

When a record is set to inactive, it effectively signals to the application that the record should not be considered relevant for the current context. This method is particularly advantageous in maintaining data integrity and continuity within the application, as reactivating a record when necessary becomes a straightforward process.

Other options, such as deleting the record or changing its properties to private, fundamentally alter the status of the record. Deleting would remove it entirely, leading to a loss of all associated data. Making the record private may restrict its visibility but doesn't officially mark it as unavailable in the same way the inactive status does. Moving the record to another category could complicate accessibility rather than clarify its status regarding relevance.

Thus, marking the record as inactive preserves its existence while making it clearly unavailable for current use, making it the best choice in this context.
