Deceased constituent status and volunteer deactivation

For the established (legacy) Volunteer Management portal. These steps differ from the newer Volunteer Management interface. Administrator controls require the appropriate school or volunteer-management permissions.

A constituent's deceased flag and a VMS volunteer's deactivation are separate states. The reviewed volunteer workflow uses a past deactivation/end date or a volunteer upload with deactivate set to TRUE. Deactivation unpairs assignments, removes active roles and archives conversations; it does not mean deleting the entire historical record. Do not assume that importing a deceased flag alone performs this volunteer workflow. Inspect the integration mapping and affected volunteer when an expected deactivation has not occurred.
