# Disable HR import elements

[HR import](/19/docs/what-is-hr-import) will only import data for enabled elements. If you no longer wish to import data for any of the available elements (such as user, job assignment, or position), then you can disable them.

To disable an HR import element, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access* *menu > HR Import > Elements > Manage elements.*
2. Click the eye icon (![eye_open](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/eye_open.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T17%3A00%3A55Z&se=2026-11-01T18%3A00%3A55Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Tfz8yhbtk33WyIRW4E7oL75MqfB5fGz5b7J%2B3Y1757E%3D)) next to an element to **Disable** it. When the eye icon is crossed out (![eye_close](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/eye_close.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T17%3A00%3A55Z&se=2026-11-01T18%3A00%3A55Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Tfz8yhbtk33WyIRW4E7oL75MqfB5fGz5b7J%2B3Y1757E%3D)), the element is disabled.[](https://help.totaralearning.com/display/TL25PMS/.Totara+Sync+Capabilities+v2.5)
