Validation and workflow rules

How do I quickly (all at once) deactivate my validation and workflow rules? Sometimes we need to update old data, and it is very time consuming to deactivate each rule.

    Hi, 

     

    The solution that we use is very similar to what has already been suggested.  We write in to the end of each validation rule "&&NOT($Profile.Id = "00e700001123q6A")" which is the System Admin profile.  The dataloader uses your credentials to run the update, insert, etc. actions so this allows the validation rules to be skipped.  If you still want your system admin users to be subjected to the validation rules you could create a special profile that is reserved for data loader work and then simply use that on one-off situations.

     

    thanks,

     

    Josh
