Viewing a Merge History Tree

The master index application tracks all merges performed against each object profile in the database. You can view a history of merges that affect a specific object profile and you can view each EUID that was merged to form the final merge result profile. The merge history appears in a tree structure in the left portion of the Merge History page, showing each pair of profiles that were merged under the displayed object profile. In the right portion of the page, transaction details appear for the EUID that is highlighted in the merge history tree.
