Trim Configuration

Use Trim Configuration when you have a configuration file that refers to a relatively small number of users than those that are contained in the associated Users Database and Resource Database. This situation may arise when a Partial Configuration is created from a much larger configuration. The Partial Configuration only contains a fraction of the Users of the original Configuration, but still refers to the entire Users Database and Resources Database. By trimming the configuration file you produce new Users Database and Resources Database files, which then only contains information that is linked to the Users listed in the Configuration file. The result is a smaller and more manageable configuration that uses fewer computing resources to load and manipulate.
