  3. Scroll to the bottom of the Edit Table page to locate the Column in the list, and then click DEACTIVATE if the status is currently Active.  
    NOTE: If the Data Column is currently in use by a Segmentation Rule or Template, then this action will fail and display an error.  You must delete all items referring to the Data Column before it can be deactivated.
