The following three fields are used by UMHP to purge historical data:

Retained Periods
This field allows the Administrator to state how many 'periods' to retain. Periods is determined by the value selected in Period Type below.
Period Type
This field allows the Administrator to specify the type of time to retain for Historical purposes. This is used when the UMHP is run to purge the historical data.
Purge Date
This is a date field which allows the Administrator to specify a specific date in which all historical data prior to this date will be purged. Purge Date will take precedence IF all three fields are filled in. Thus if you have it set to normally delete rows that are older then 5 years BUT for a special run want to delete all rows prior to a specific date, you can.

Clear Table Cache
If necessary the user may clear the table's data from the cache. This may be necessary if changes to the data within the table are not refreshing for the users.
Clear All Cached Tables
This action button will clear data from ALL of the cached tables, not just the one selected in the find block.
