+# Scheduled Deactivation/Reactivation of Forms
+
+A scheduled job script to deactivate and reactivate forms automatically during a maintenance window.
+
+## Description
+
+This script can be added to a scheduled job to deactivate and reactivate catalog items and/or record producers. An example of a use case is where maintenance is being performed which will involve a system outage so certain forms that might rely on an integration with that system need to be disabled during the maintenance window.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Dependencies
+
+* None
+
+### Execution
+
+1. Create a scheduled job that automatically runs a script of your choosing.
+2. Configure the scheduled job to run at the relevant time (see image for example).
+3. Copy the script from deactivate-reactivate-cat-item.js into the 'Run this script' field.
+4. Modify the variables as required:
+    * Add or remove variables to capture all of the catalog items that need to be deactivated/reactivated.
+    * Ensure the sys_id of the catalog item is set as the variable value.
+5. Update the array list on line 8 to include the variables you want to use.
+6. Set the value of the active flag on line 11 to 'false' to deactivate the catalog item or 'true' to activate the catalog item.
+7. Save the scheduled job and it will run once the trigger condition is met.
+
+### Additional Information
+If you are setting a deactivate scheduled job for a maintenance window, make sure you create a second scheduled job to reactivate the catalog items once the maintenance window is closed.
