Archive TransActions
Archiving is a way of removing transactions from the database and
storing them without having to delete information. Archiving is
important because it helps manage your database and improves system
performance.
TransAct allows archiving of all transactions or just invoiced transac-
tions for a specified date range.
Creating an Archive
To archive transactions, click on Admin... from the toolbar and select
Utilities. Select Archive TransActions and click the left mouse
button.
