In general terms you should archive records rather than delete them. Why?
- By archiving records you have a permanent record of past programs.
- You can print an arrangement record for a past student if the record has been archived.
- You can compare past programs with present day programs.
- Archiving records allows you to undo (or "un-archive") the record if you make a mistake.
- You can delete records directly from the archive if necessary.
