The software uses the ACCESS 2007 database engine to store and manage data in the management system. Due to
the deleting of data, number of datasets (loads) read into the system, and management changes there can be a fair
amount of wasted or unused space in the database which can slow down the performance of the system. To keep the
system performing at a high-level, it is recommended that you use the Compact Files… feature located under the Tool
menu. This function will cleanse your database of unused information that is wasting space. This feature will also
optimize the database to increase performance. It would be good practice to run this feature once a month.
