# Inactive Services

## If you have a service that is no longer offered, it is still a part of your reporting history so it cannot be deleted. Instead, you can mark it inactive. Follow the instructions below for suggestions on the best way to keep organized!

To prevent clutter on your Services page, it is best to dedicate a Service Group to your inactive services.

**To create a Custom Service Group-**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Navigate to Services

Navigate to Manage > Basic Settings > Services.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Create a custom Service Group

Select New Service > Not finding what you're looking for? Create a custom Service Group.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Configure the Service Group

Name: Inactive Services > Service Category: Other (Non-Chemical) > Sort Order: the last number

{% hint style="info" %}
Changing the status from Active to Inactive will not affect any future appointments that are booked for that service. Instead, it will just prevent new appointments from being scheduled.
