Purge View Setup

Find and remove unused view templates and view filters in one window.

When to use it

Use this after transferring templates, copying views between projects, or when filters have piled up from old graphic standards.

Why it exists

Unused templates and filters make the Assign View Template and Visibility/Graphics lists noisy, so people apply the wrong one.

How to use it

  1. Open Purge View Setup

    On the ✚ Annon App tab, open Purge and choose Purge View Setup.

  2. Choose Templates or Filters

    Each tab refreshes when selected so you see current unused counts.

  3. Search and check

    Select only templates or filters that are not part of the office standard.

  4. Purge

    Remove the unused items, then assign the remaining templates with Assign View Templates if needed.

Purge View Setup window on the Templates tab
Templates tab - unused view templates ready to remove.
Purge View Setup window on the Filters tab
Filters tab - unused view filters in the same window.

Keep in mind

  • This consolidates the older Unused View Templates and Unused View Filters tools.
  • A template that is still assigned to a view is not unused.
