*CONDENSE Condense Data Files
>
>CONT
>PRINTOPT
This operation is used to remove deleted records from your patient
files, transaction files, procedure and diagnosis codes files, address
files or appointment files.
When a record is deleted anywhere in MediSoft Advanced it is not
removed from the file, it is simply marked as deleted. As new records
are added, the deleted space is reused. The Condense Data Files
operation allows you to immediately reclaim disk space that normally
would be reused a little at a time as new information is added to
MediSoft Advanced.
.CO Condense Data Files
This operation is used only when it is needed; there is no recommended
or required time to perform this operation.
To use this operation, choose the file type you wish to condense from
the previous menu. The following screen will appear:
Before proceeding with condensing your data files, be certain that you
have enough disk space on the indicated data drive. The preceding
screen tells you how much space will be required to complete the
operation and on which drive the work will take place.
.CO Condense Data Files
After verifying the information above, press "Y" to continue with
condensing your data files. Press "N" to abort the operation and
return to the Utilities menu.
IMPORTANT: We advise that you make a backup of your MediSoft
Advanced data before using this or any operation on the Utilities
menu.

[Enter], or press the [X] key.
*REBUILD Rebuild Data File Indexes
MediSoft Advanced makes extensive use of index files to allow data
to be retrieved quickly. This operation is used to completely rebuild
the index files in the event of damage.
To use this operation, choose the type of index that you want to
rebuild from the preceding menu. The operation will complete and you
will be returned to the Rebuild Data File Indexes screen.
IMPORTANT: We advise that you make a backup of your MediSoft
Advanced data before using this or any operation on the Utilities

a rounding error report will print to the printer.
