Clean and delete lists

You can improve the performance of Vernon CMS by cleaning and deleting lists.

Overview

You can improve performance by cleaning and deleting lists. Cleaning lists deletes temporary lists created by the system during searches and reporting. Cleaning lists will not delete your user’s lists in Portfolio.

It is important that you don't save lists with asterisks in the name or they may get deleted during list cleaning.

We recommend you clean lists monthly for large institutions, or every 6 months for smaller institutions.

Clean lists

  1. Make sure that no one else is logged into Vernon CMS. See Log out and lock out users.

  2. Go to the Tools menu, then Utilities, then Clean Lists.

  3. Vernon will ask you to confirm that you would like to delete any Temporary Worklists, orphaned Saved Lists and Obsolete Previous Reports. This could take up to ten minutes. Click Yes.

  4. Optional: To save the report in the Clean Lists window, go to the File menu and then Save to File.

  5. Close the window when you are ready.

Delete lists

Whenever it starts taking some time for the system to open any of your own saved lists, you can delete system lists.

  1. Open List Manager by clicking List on the toolbar.

  2. Go to the File menu and then Delete System Lists.
