When two client records are created for the same client in error and data exists under both records, the Merge Clients feature will allow you to combine all information into one client record.
Important: Review both client records prior to these instructions. Doing so will help you verify later that the information has been transferred to one record.
How to Merge Clients
- Open the Clients Module.
- Open the Destination client's record.
- This is the client record that you will keep.
- Go to the Misc. tab.
- Select the Merge Clients link at the bottom left.
- The Merge Clients window will open.
- Enter in the Source client.
- This is the client's record you will not keep.
- The system will ask you "Are you sure you want to merge the clients". Click OK.
- The system will confirm the merger "Clients have been merged."
- Verify that the "Destination" client information has been pulled over from the "Source" client.
- Look for duplication of information such as: Client pictures, contacts, appointments, etc.
- Delete the Source client.
