Manually merge persons

Tip

Click Inspect for any main or non-main person to inspect their data and contracts (shows the same information as View a person's data and View a person's contracts).

In Source > Aggregation, the left pane contains all persons available as main persons. The right pane contains all persons available as non-main persons. The center pane contains all current (pending and applied) sets of merged persons.

  1. Go to Source > Aggregation > Manual.

  2. In the left pane, select a person.

    A new merge set is created in the center pane, and the selected person becomes a main person in it.

    For this example, we've created a new merge set with Crystal as the main person.

  3. In the right pane, click Add for a person (or drag-and-drop).

    The selected person is added to the merge set in the center pane as a non-main person, and is marked Pending Merge.

    For this example, we've added Connie and Marvin to the merge set as non-main persons.

  4. To save the merge set, click Apply.

    All involved persons are labeled as Pending in the left pane. Non-main persons are no longer available to be selected as main persons in new merge sets.

  5. Repeat steps (1) - (4) to create additional merge sets (with new main persons), or to merge more non-main persons into existing merge sets.

    For this example, we've added one additional merge set. Olive is the main person and Justin is the only non-main person.

  6. To put your pending merge sets into production, manually generate a snapshot by clicking the New Snapshot button.

  7. All involved main persons are marked as Merged in the left pane.

    All involved non-main persons are removed from the left pane, as well as from in-production persons.

    For example, Connie, Marvin, and Justin have all been removed:

    To verify the merge, View in-production persons.
