Access this screen by selecting Tool #705: Purge Tracker Records.

  • WARNING: Before you begin deleting (purging) trackers, make sure no one else is using the tracker system. Remember, the collections system and Member Account Inquiry are both interfaced with parts of the tracker system. If someone else is using these CU*BASE features while you are attempting to delete trackers, the program may end abnormally

  • This feature is not allowed if "Allow Trackers to be Purged" is unchecked in the Tracker configuration.  

This screen is used to delete unneeded tracker entries by Tracker Type code, date, conversation Memo Type, etc. For example, once each year you could purge all trackers with code “MS” (for member services) that were created more than a year ago or a batch of Sales Trackers that were mistakenly generated.

IMPORTANT:The use of this feature to delete entire Trackers will depend in part on how you organize Tracker record for your members. If you use a single “Member Service” Tracker record to store ongoing records of all conversations over time (the same way a standard Collections Card works), then you will likely never purge entire Trackers except to clean up very old ones from before you implemented your policies. If you create new Tracker records for every new issue that comes up, then the purge will help you keep your files cleaner. Read more about setting standards for how Trackers are used

To avoid accidentally deleting all tracker records, you must complete at least one of the selection parameters as described below (or use them all).

When ready, use Enter once to verify all settings, then Enter again to begin the purging process. A final confirmation screen will appear to confirm the deletion of the records.
