Editing Time Clock Purge (section)

===== Purge =====

'''Location'''

TIME CLOCK


'''Purpose'''

Every transaction made by every employee is kept in the system. Eventually, the transaction table can become quite large. Purging should be done periodically, preferably after year-end to remove these historical transactions.

'''WARNING''': It is '''''STRONGLY''''' recommended that you backup your database before purging. Records will be permanently deleted and can only be recovered from the backup.

'''Note:''' Only employees with a job type of System Maintenance can initiate a database purge.


'''Fields'''

Last Purge Cutoff Date – The date that Time Clock transactions were last purged. This is maintained by the system.

Cutoff Date – Transactions with dates previous or equal to this date will be removed.

Archive/Print Data – Check this box if you wish to archive or print the data that will be purged.

Archive/Printing Path and Method – If you had indicated above that you wish to archive or print purged data, you will be prompted for the path of the file and the method to be used.
