Remove History Wizard

To conserve disk space, history records may be removed on a regular or occasional basis. This removal is most typically done by running the Purge Specific History (Purgehistory) report and specifying a purge date to use for deleting old history records. History records with a Date Created value prior to the purge date will be removed by the report.

You can also remove history records manually with the Remove History wizard.

To remove histories

In the History Information and Maintenance group, click the Remove History wizard.

In the User Search window, scan the user’s barcode, or specify one or more search criteria and text on which to search. Or, click Current to accept the most recently viewed or modified user.

You can restrict your user search to a Keyword or Browse Search and to a certain library, or library group by selecting the library’s name, or library group name, in the Library list.

If the user has more than one history record, the List of History Records window displays under the History Tab. For each history record, history count, title, item ID, status, and interest information display.

Select the check box beside the history you want to delete in the List of History Records. To remove all the histories, click Select All.

Click Remove History.

When the Remove History confirmation dialog displays, click OK to continue removing the history, or click Cancel to cancel the transaction.
