Deadfiles
Deadfiles are where the records of applicants who never received a student ID are stored. This could arise because they did not complete the submission of their application, or they did not pay a deposit. It is intended that Deadfiles will be purged periodically based on their age -- a suggested interval is two years.
Editing
Deadfiles may be viewed by clicking the main toolbar icon 
or by choosing File | Deadfiles from the main menu. This should display the following listing of records.
This is a tabular list of deadfiled students.
Seek
The seek button assists you in finding the entries you wish to deal with.
Revive
Once you have found the record you wish to deal with, clicking the Revive button will restore the information to the Current Students part of the program.
Delete
Delete will simply discard the record you are currently highlighting.
Purge
Purge will bring up a year term dialog. This is asking you to select the year and term prior to which deadfile entries will be permanently eliminated. Generally the date fields should be unchecked as they are not relevant to this process.
Close
Close simply closes this window.
Return to Main Page.
