Where are records deleted from the Active Files in ELMS placed?

When records are deleted from the Active Files in the Enlisted Learning Management System (ELMS), they are placed in the History (Dead) File. This is consistent with standard record-keeping practices which maintain a trace of all past actions and changes, even after records are no longer in active use.

The History (Dead) File serves as a repository for records that may be needed for reference, compliance, or auditing purposes. It ensures that there is a record of historical data while also maintaining the current and active records separate and free from clutter or outdated information. This practice is particularly important for military training documentation, where historical information may be relevant for future evaluations or audits.

By contrast, the Current Files are typically reserved for ongoing, active documentation, while Archive Records would house information that is removed from regular access yet is still retained for long-term storage or compliance. The Active Record File includes only those records currently in use. Thus, placing deleted records in the History (Dead) File reflects both the need for organization and the management of training records in a systematic manner.
