If you choose to the print a report, you can choose whether the report is printed in Full, Summary, or Exception format.

Attention: Printing a report before submitting a purge request allows you to view the records you have selected, but does not give you any indication of whether the selected jobs/schedules meet the purge conditions.

Prerequisites

   Select the jobs/schedules to include in your purge. See: Purging Discrete Jobs and Purging Repetitive Schedules.

   To purge information for the selected jobs or schedules and print a report:

1. From the Purge Options window, choose the Purge and Report action. This is the default option.

2. Choose the level of detail to include in the report. The options are as follows:

Full: The report lists all job and/or schedule records selected for the purge, the table and number of rows affected as well as those records that cannot be purged because of purge rule violations. Full is the default option.

Summary: The report lists all job and/or schedule records selected for the purge but in a tabular form. The table and row detail is omitted although exception information is included.

Exception: The report lists only those job and/or schedule records that cannot be purged because of purge violation rules. Exception information is included.

3. Choose OK to submit the purge and print the report.

Attention: Once you commit the process, all related information is removed from the database.

   To only print a report for the selected jobs or schedules:

1. From the Purge Options window, choose the Report Only action.

2. Choose the level of detail to include in the report. The options are Full, Summary, or Exception (see above).

3. From the Include option group, choose what information to include in the report. The options are as follows:

Headers: If you choose to purge Headers, all other options are automatically selected and are, furthermore, required. Purging headers purges all information associated with the selected jobs or repetitive schedules.

Details: You can choose to purge job or repetitive schedule details (operations and material and resource requirements). If you choose this option, you can also choose to purge move and resource transactions.

Move Transactions: You can choose to purge move transactions. If you choose this option, you can also choose to purge schedule details and resource transactions.

Resource Transactions: You can choose to purge resource transactions. If you choose this option, you can also choose to purge schedule details and move transactions.

Attention: If you enter a date that is earlier than the repetitive schedule's complete or cancel date or the discrete job's close date, the system does not purge any job or schedule information.

   To purge without printing a report:

1. From the Purge Options window, choose the Purge Only action.

2. From the Include option group, choose what information to purge. See above.
