Working With the EDM for Sun Master Index

ProcedureTo Combine System Records

  1. Compare the system records from two potential duplicate profiles, as described in Finding Potential Duplicate Profiles on the EDM.

  2. Determine which of the two system records you want to keep.

  3. Highlight both system records to be merged, and then click the LID Merge arrows pointing toward the system record you want to keep.

  4. To retain any fields from the non-surviving system record, select the option button next to each field you want to keep.

  5. To specify which child objects to retain, do the following for each type of child object:

    1. Display the child objects to determine which to retain and which to remove.

    2. For each child object you do not want to save in the new system record, click Remove child_type beneath that child object (where child_type is the type of child object to remove).

  6. In the upper portion of the page, click Merge.

    The merge result record appears, allowing you to view the information that will be saved in the SBR after the merge.

  7. Click Confirm to finalize the merge or click Cancel to return to the Comparison page and review the profiles again.
