MANAGING AND MAINTAINING
GAME DATA

Easy-Scout XP Analyzer includes a number of Data Management and Maintenance Utilities.  Like all Utilities, the Data Management Utilities are accessed from the Utilities menu:

The Data Management Utilities include:

1. Deleting Games
   
   In most cases, Deleting Games will not be performed in Analyzer, but rather in Easy-Scout XP itself if both are installed on the same computer. This is because when both programs are installed on the same computer the Analyzer game data will be overwritten by the data from Easy-Scout XP each time Analyzer is started. If you do want to use this feature, it is important to first UNCHECK the Use Easy-Scout XP data setting. 

   The Delete Game function is performed using a screen identical to that in Easy-Scout XP as shown below.  All available games will be displayed in the Game List.  Click the checkbox next to each game that you wish to delete and then press the Delete Game(s) button to delete all of the games that you have selected.

   The comment box is shown for reference to aid in picking the correct game. Comments can not be edited in this form.

   
   
   
    

2. Deleting Result Sets
   
   To Delete ALL Saved Result Sets, select Delete Result Sets from the Utilities Menu. This will not delete the games themselves, but will delete the Result Sets, or Collections of plays that are saved in Analyzer. This may be necessary occasionally to make the list of result sets easier to use and faster to navigate.
   
   When you click Delete Result Sets, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to delete all result sets. Click OK if you do.
   
   To Delete individual result sets, use the Delete Result Set button on the Select Games Screen.
    

3. Cleanup Data Files
   
   This utility will inspect and reindex your data files. It is a good idea to run this utility periodically as it will ensure the smooth operation of Analyzer and reduce the chances of a problem occurring. It will also make Analyzer work faster, especially if you are not using Easy-Scout XP for your data or if you are creating a lot of result sets.
   
   You will see a progress bar as the various Analyzer files are processed. Due to the nature of this utility, Analyzer will close automatically when it completes.
   
   
   Due to the more complex nature of the Import and Export Games, Import Reports and Backup and Restore Utilities, they are discussed on individual help items.
