# Enable Inactivate Product & Study Registrations

Learn how to configure your Vault for making Product and Study Registrations inactive.

## About the Feature

With the 24R1 release, Vault Safety enables setting Product and Study Registrations to a **Deleted State** state type so the Safety Rule Engine no longer considers them when determining a Case's reportability. Previously, registrations were transitioned to the **Inactive** lifecycle state, which caused issues in some follow-up situations.

To use this feature, complete the configuration described below, then see <a href="/en/lr/01215/#pr-inactive">Manage Products</a> and <a href="/en/lr/01216/#sr-inactive">Manage Studies</a> for more information.

## Add State, State Type, and User Actions to the Product Registration and Study Registration Lifecycles
