The system enables or disables the rule, depending on the option selected.

 

Note: Rules with actions that are no longer valid are disabled and highlighted in the main list of rules so that these actions can be corrected. For example, if an action specified that an event coordinator must be replaced by a group that has been deleted from the system, the rule will be disabled until this action has been removed or substituted. When a workflow rule is disabled manually or automatically for containing invalid actions, its author will be notified in the Notifications section of the Home module. However, if the rule author is deleted from the system, this notification will be displayed to users assigned to the Global Administrators profile.
