A client recently asked me about 𝐎𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 in their 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐃𝐒. They had no idea it was creating a massive 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 😬

Orphan data can sound harmless, but it’s can become a nightmare during audits …

In Empower, these are 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐬 that have been “forgotten” – data that’s been acquired but never processed. They sit there quietly, until an auditor finds them.

Here’s how to find Orphan Data quickly 👇

You just need to create a simple View Filter with these settings:

• Go to 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐬 tab
• Set # of Results stored = 0
• Define your date range (e.g. last 31 days for periodic review)
• Exclude channels that are not relevant (like System Pressure)

💡 This simple filter shows you exactly what’s been forgotten.

12 months later – will you remember every injection you performed? Probably not.

But will you remember the stress of explaining orphan data to an auditor?

Absolutely!
