- è | OPTION 4: |
- ==============
-
-
-
- 4) Optional Pre-select, 'All Scheduled Activities'
- [used when 'All Scheduled Activities' are On from the prior menu]
-
- If, on the prior menu, you wish to be shown 'All Scheduled Activities', ì
- then this option gives you the additional flexibility of being prompted ì
- every time as to whether you wish to be shown all other activities that are ì
- occurring on that day.
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION 5: |
- ==============
-
- 5) Delete historical Activity records
-
- This selection gives you the ability to delete any group of activity ì
- records by their original date of entry into the program. Once in option ì
- 5, you select the date range of your requested deletion.
-
- The activity file was intentionally designed as a 'perpetual' file, where ì
- all records are maintained and no effort is made to differentiate current ì
- from historical records. By contrast, an accounting system uses 'periodic' ì
- files, where a typical program will distinguish between records from the ì
- current operating period and those that are historical. All historical ì
- records in a 'periodic' system, then, will be summarized and purged.
-
- For those situations with this program where a high frequency of activity ì
- records has the effect of being used in a 'period' and then having no real ì
- value after that period and where the constraints of disk storage mandate ì
- that your remove all 'historical' activity records, then use this ì
- selection.
-
- Do not continue until you have first backed up the data. This procedure ì
- is irrevocable.
