Remove History Wizard

To conserve disk space, history records may be removed on a regular or occasional basis. This removal is most typically done by running the Purge Specific History (Purgehistory) report and specifying a purge date to use for deleting old history records. History records with a Date Created value prior to the purge date will be removed by the report.

You can also remove history records manually with the Remove History wizard.

In the User Search window, scan the user’s barcode, or specify one or more search criteria and text on which to search. Or, click Current to accept the most recently viewed or modified user.

Click Remove History.
