Purge Record Workform

A new Purge Record workform appears when you select Utilities, Cataloging Jobs, Purge Cataloging Records from the Polaris Shortcut Bar and then select File > New or click  on the Purge Criteria List box. An existing Purge Record workform appears when you double-click a purge job on the Purge Criteria List box. See Purge cataloging records.

Use the Purge Record workform to:

• Identify the purge criteria record - Select the name and owner of the purge criteria record.

• Schedule the purge - Set the date in the Scheduled box.

• Select the type of records to purge - Select Authority, Bibliographic, or Item. This specifies that the authority, bibliographic, or item records with a status of Deleted will be removed from the Polaris database.

• Select record sets to purge - You can also select Record Sets and click Find to search for and select a specific record set that contains the deleted bibliographic or item records.

• Indicate the date range for the purge - Select the Begin and End dates to purge records that were deleted on or after the begin date, and before or on the end date.
