■ Administrator> Pack ExpoCadExp – allows you to physically remove the deleted records from the database.
You must have exclusive access to the file as well as an Exposition Management authorization level of 8 or higher in order to run this option. It is recommended that an administrator occasionally run this option to remove the deleted records from the ExpoCadExp file. This will prevent the ExpoCadExp file from getting too large.
