Cleaning-up the HE2 Job Data Menu

If you make frequent use of the HE2 program, the Job Menu in the Heat Loss Express module may become "over populated" with old jobs. The menu can be "cleaned up" without having to discard any job data.

The first step is to back-up up all of your job data - read the Backing-up HE2 Job Data tutorial for instructions on how to do this. Once your job data is backed up (and the back-up verified), delete old jobs from the Heat Loss Express Job Menu as follows -

1. Open the Heat Loss Express module from the main HE2 menu
2. Open an old job using the Job Menu in the tool bar
3. Select Jobs in the menu bar, and then Delete
4. When prompted "Are you sure you want to delete all references to (job name)" select Yes
5. Repeat this process for all old jobs you wish to remove from the Job Menu

If you need to access the data of a job you have deleted from the Job Menu, use the import function to bring the data back -

1. Open the Heat Loss Express module from the main HE2 menu
2. Select Jobs in the menu bar, and then Import Data
3. On the import data screen, select your back-up folder and the file that holds the job data you need, then click Open
4. Select the jobs you wish to import, and then click OK

The job should now be listed again on the Job Menu, with full edit/print privilages. Note - After exporting job data and deleting jobs from the Job Menu, the HE2 program must be closed and then re-opened before importing the job data.
