If
I have duplicate member records in Rapattoni Magic, how can I merge
the two records together and transfer history? |
Do you ever have
duplicate member records in your Rapattoni Magic database and not know
what to do with them? Well, you probably don’t need to keep two records
on file for the member, so you can eliminate one record. Rapattoni Magic
allows you to merge two duplicate member records together, and transfer
the member information over to the record you are going to keep. All associated
member information, including accounting invoices and receipts can also
be transferred. You may also delete the “old” record after transferring
the history. The process is very simple and only takes a few seconds using
the Transfer Member History Utility.
To Transfer
Member History:





Once you open
the Transfer Member History Utility, simply zoom (Press F5) to select
the From Member (the record you wish to eliminate). Then zoom to select
the member record to which you will be transferring all of the history
(the record you wish to keep). If you want to delete the “old” record
after the transfer is completed, check the box labeled “Delete From Member
after transferring history.” If you do not check this box, then the “old”
record will remain in the database but with a terminated status. You have
the option to select which information you would like to transfer and
you can select as many different options as you want. After filling in
the information, click OK begin the process. You will then be asked to
confirm the deletion the “old” record. Click OK to complete the process.
Running this utility when necessary is important for keeping your database
“clean” from duplicate records.
