Activating and Deactivating Queues
Queues can be put in the Inactive status to prevent users from actively working from them if the queue needs to be taken out of service for some reason; for example, if a queue definition is too broad and criteria need to be added to make it more manageable for the users working from the queue.
Normally, you deactivate a queue while you update it, but this is not essential. If you do not deactivate a queue while you update it, users can still work from the queue, which will display applications using the last saved definition. When you deactivate a queue, the queue no longer appears in the My Queues pane on the Home page. (This is an immediate change. You do not have to log off and log back on to the system to see the change.)
For users who have permissions to work from more than one queue, an inactive queue is not listed in their assigned queues.
