Interim Archive in Scotland

In Scotland, you only need to use the Interim Archive option at the request of your Health Board (HB). This archives the Completed Transactions File from the date of the last archive to the present date, and produces an Interim Quarterly Certificate. For example, it could be used during a quarter after a practice dispute.

Training Tip - Before starting the archive, ensure you have a backup of your system.

To run an Interim Archive:

  1. From Registration Links, select Action - Archive - Interim Archive.
  2. Select Process.
  3. Select OK to confirm the date, the Interim Archive includes records up to this date.
    Note - You are advised if there are no completed transactions to archive.
  4. Select OK to confirm that you have carried out a recent backup.
  5. Select a destination folder and make sure the printer is on-line and loaded. Check there is enough paper for the Interim Certificate to print. Select OK to continue.
  6. Once the files are copied to the drive specified and the certificates have printed successfully, you can confirm, or reprint the certificate.
