How to compact and archive the database
The bigger the Team
2
database becomes, the slower the software opens and the longer the
searches take. The maximum size of the database is 4 GB. The size of the database is indicated
with a color bar in the Archive tab of Database management.
• When the bar is green, the size of the database is less than 2 GB.
• When the bar is yellow, the size of the database is 2-3 GB.
• When the bar is red, the size of the database is over 3 GB.
The size of the database can be reduced by compacting and archiving. Compacting is
recommended action if the bar is yellow or red. Archiving is the final measure if compacting does
not reduce the database size enough.
Compacting typically reduces the database size by 20-50%.

2
database is archived, the archived data can no longer be used
in the software for comparison or reports.
