Deactivate or delete an TIEM mission
Understand the effects and permissions before disabling a mission, deleting its results or deleting the entire mission.
Deactivating a task, deleting its results, and deleting the task are different actions. Before confirming, check which item will be affected and whether existing information needs to be preserved.
What you will do
You can interrupt the future use of a mission without deleting its results, only remove the collected results or delete the entire mission.
Who can do this
- Deactivate a mission: Group Administrator, Organization Administrator and Organization Analyst, when authorized for the selected mission.
- Delete results: Group Administrator, Organization Administrator, or a user with a custom profile that includes this action, always in the authorized context. The default Organization Analyst profile does not grant this deletion.
- Delete the entire mission: only Group Administrator, when the action is visible in the authorized group.
The absence of an option may indicate profile restriction or an current mission condition.
Before you start
- Confirm the selected organization and mission.
- Check the status of the mission and verify if there is an ongoing collection.
- Generate and download the reports that need to be preserved before any deletion.
- Read the full confirmation: exclusions cannot be undone by the interface.
Menu path
In the main menu, select TIME → Quests, choose the type of quest and open the desired quest. Then, open Actions, identified by the three vertical dots icon.
Steps
Deactivate the mission
Attention: this action affects the selected mission and blocks new collections and revalidations. Existing results remain available. The current interface does not present an action to reactivate the mission.
- In Actions, select Disable mission.
- In the confirmation Disable this mission?, check the mission name and the notice that it will not be able to be executed again.
- Confirm the deactivation.

Only delete the results
Attention: this action permanently removes the findings, evidence, execution history and other mission results. The mission and its parameters remain, but the deleted items cannot be recovered by the interface.
- In Actions, select Delete results.
- If there is active collection, the option may appear as Cancel and delete. In this case, the collection will also be canceled.
- Read the confirmation and check if you want to keep the mission, but remove all existing results.
- Confirm the exclusion.
- Check the success message and confirm that the mission remains available without the previous results.
Delete the entire mission
Attention: this action permanently removes the mission, its parameters, findings, evidence, execution history and other results. The mission cannot be recovered by the interface.
- In Actions, select Delete mission.

Expected result

- After excluing the mission, it stops appearing in the list, along with its parameters and results.
