Visually indicate deactivated objects

In plenty of spaces in Workfront, when you search a list of objects, it feeds you all objects (active and inactive). This is particurarly true for filtering. I understand why we get everything and the kitchen sink, however it can be confusing and overwhelming. It would be helpful to visually represent what is active versus inactive. Some options:

  • Gray out the names of inactive objects
  • Add a symbol like an asterisk to the beginning of the object name (but not the end because these dropdown windows sometimes truncate names)
