To select several records not listed in succession, press and hold the CTRL key.
Then click each record you want to select.
To select all the records in the list, click Select all.

Monitor records or Monitor and data records
In both cases, you are prompted to choose whether to delete only the Monitor records or both Monitor and data records.
If you choose to delete only Monitor records, these data records will still be available for analysis and reporting in other GainSeeker modules. The selected data records will only be removed from the Database Monitor module.
For valid data records that no longer need to be tracked in the SPC Database Monitor module, you should select this option.
If you choose to delete both Monitor and data records, the selected data records will be completely removed from all GainSeeker tables. These data records will no longer be available for analysis and reporting in other GainSeeker modules.
For data records that were entered in error and should be completely removed from GainSeeker, you should select this option.
Other options for purging old Monitor records
You can also set up your SPC Database Monitor icon to automatically purge old records from the monitor windows. For more information, see Setting up icons to perform automatic functions.
