No, not the GUI - I'm assuming dormant entries *would* still appear in the GUI - I don't know about anyone else, but we only use this for management of the app.
It's the HTML output and status alerts where I want to exclude them. I guess for *maximum* flexibility you could *potentially* have it in HTML reports, so that it would be included or not depending on the SAIF selection (just as we can currently display all checks, or only active ones, or only maintenance, depending on the specific need of the report). But for my own purposes I don't even need that.
Does that make sense?
Ian

When you say "any reports or output", are you then refering to the HTML based output or also to the "normal" GUI/interface?

Because I *do* want the existing maintenance status to show up on reports and screens. "Maintenance" to me means "Don't forget about this box - it's a valid thing to check, but we've temporarily turned off the alerts because we're doing things". What I describe below as "long term maintenance" ("Dormant" might be a better word) means "This box is going to be out of action for weeks if not months, and I don't want it clogging up my screens and status alerts, but at some point in the future it will be reinstated so I don't want to completely delete it".

And why have a new status type for it?

Subject: [SA-list] Feature Request 3 - additional status type
To conclude my hat-trick of feature requests: a repeat of one that (I think) someone else asked for a little while ago, but I'm not sure what the outcome was. There are times when I'd like to put a check into what I might call "long term" maintenance - I don't want to delete it completely because often they take ages to tweak correctly, but I don't want it showing up on any reports or outputs. What would be the chance of getting an extra status type added?
Many thanks,
Ian
