What is merged and what is NOT?
When a merge is performed the important thing to understand is that the user you are mergingĀ TOĀ should be the one with the most up to date or accurate information.
The tool uses a two-column window to facilitate this process.
TheĀ TOĀ user will be in the right column. The information for theĀ TOĀ user will take precedence over theĀ FROMĀ user. TheĀ FROMĀ user will appear in the left column.
Where information exists in the MERGE TO user it will remain in the profile post-merge.
If there are fields that have no information in theĀ MERGE TO profile yet something exists in the FROM user, the merge will bring this information into the resulting single user profile

IMPORTANT:Ā The user selected in the left column will be archived.Ā The user in the right column will remain in the database.
