Cleaning or editing an event history
ProAdmin's Service Definitions and Event Definitions can handle many different events and event combinations, except situations such as events that occur on the same date, ignoring certain stop/start event combinations that occur within a period of time, or creating an event history from 2 (or more) coded fields. But, sometimes it's better to adjust or cleanup the event history and remove unnecessary rows in order to make event processing simpler (i.e., easier to follow/understand/check).
Here are detailed steps for cleaning or editing an event history:
