Flag inactive / deprecated time series - and only display active ones by default

Hi Kristian,

Just to confirm my understanding, you want to be able to control whether a time series instance is included in a Search, or any other application, and to do this you’re suggesting we implement a standard Boolean property on Time Series instances that allows users to determine that behaviour (isDeprecated could the name for the property).

Is it sufficient that this is implemented only on the newer core data model types, or is it also required that we support this on ‘classic’ time series instances?

Have I understood this correctly?

Correct! The basic need is to have a good way to per default filter out those time series that are no longer active. And to be able to show them by making an active choice - like the “show archived data sets” button in the data catalog in Fusion - a “show archived/deprecated time series” button in Search. 

For my immediate wishlist, I would have liked to see such a property/functionality on the classic time series type.

But I’m aware that CDF is moving more towards the core data model. So feel free to interpret my product idea as a suggestion only for core data model types :-)

Understood and thanks very much for the clarification. 

Tagging colleagues who are involved in building the front end user experiences where Time Series shows up to ensure we have a holistic perspective.  I think your request makes a lot of sense, especially where we have customers generating multiple instances of time series for essentially the same data, but whilst previous instances need to be stored for historical purposes, they are undesirable to show up by default in searches etc.

This is a great suggestion, thanks.
