Master Dashboard Login
Computers Management allows you to remove a computer you no longer expect to record, and/or remove recorded events associated with the computer. For example, you may want to "clean" data from a Library computer in preparation for gathering new data at the start of a year. If you delete a computer, it no longer appears in Dashboard reports. However, if new recording detects the computer again, the computer will begin to show up with new transactions.

This function permanently deletes transactions from the database, but does not delete the computer "header file" that identifies the computer to the database. You can bring back the transactions by restoring a valid database backup. |
In the Computers Management folder, select the computer to remove.
Click Delete on the toolbar or right-click > Delete. A message informs you that you will be permanently deleting data from the database.
Click Yes to continue. The Delete Event Data box appears.
If you want to remove the computer completely,
leave all default options selected and click Delete.
This removes all transactions associated with the computer. If you want
to remove specific or older events, clear events you do NOT wish to remove,
and/or set a Date. See Deleting Event
Data.
A message asks you to confirm deleting the transactions. Click Yes.
Wait as the events are deleted, and then click Close. The computer still appears in Computers Management, but without available data will no longer appear in Dashboard charts, reports, or forms.
