    Depending on the situation, one of the following occurs:

    2. If the person you selected as Main is not newly imported, and there is more than one other person in the suggested merge set, the Aggregate With Existing Persons dialog box appears but you cannot enable the Transfer toggle for any of the non-main persons. Data cannot be transferred to existing persons, because there may be entitlement conflicts.

    3. If the person you selected as Main is not newly imported, and there is only one other (newly imported) person in the suggested merge set, the Aggregate With Existing Persons dialog box does not appear, because there is no data to potentially transfer.

  6. In the Aggregate With Existing Persons dialog box, click Approve to confirm.

  7. Optional: Repeat steps (3) - (6) to approve additional merge suggestions.

  8. The merged persons are removed from the Suggestions pane and marked as Pending on the Manual tab.

    If you specified any data transfers on the Aggregate With Existing Persons dialog box, those persons are marked as Transfer.
