Equipment
This field is only accessible if restricting purge by ‘Equipment’.
Specify the equipment for which to purge detail (indicated below).
Category
This field is only accessible if restricting purge by ‘Category’.
Specify the category for which to purge detail (indicated below). When purging by category, all detail is purged for all equipment within the category.
Component
This field is only accessible if restricting purge by ‘Component’.
Specify the component for which to purge detail (indicated below). When purging by component, only component history is purged. The equipment to which the component is attached is unaffected by the purge.
Meter Reading History
Check this box to purge all meter reading history through the month indicated.
Leave this box unchecked if not purging meter reading history.
Through Reading Month
Enter the reading month through which to purge meter reading history.
Location Transfer History
Check this box to purge all location transfer history through the month indicated.
Leave this box unchecked if not purging location transfer history.
Through Transfer Out Date
Enter the 'transfer out' date through which to purge location transfer history.
Include Last Transfer Record
This option is only accessible when restricting by ‘Equipment’.
Check this box to have the system purge the last transfer record for the equipment. Because the final transfer record for a piece of equipment will typically have a null ‘Out Date’, checking this box will allow the purge process to delete this record so it can delete the equipment. However, the system will only purge the final transfer record if it is the last transfer record in the file after purging through the specified date. If multiple transfer records are left after purging through the specified ‘transfer out date’, the system will not purge the last transfer record.
Leave this box unchecked if you do not want to purge the last transfer record for the equipment (not recommended if you are trying to purge the equipment.)
Work Orders
Check this box to purge all completed work orders, including headers, items, parts, and notes through the specified completion date.
Leave this box unchecked if not purging work orders.
Through Completion Date
