The Merge function is useful when duplicate owner veterinarians are created, and appear multiple times in your drop-down lists when creating an animal profile. This feature allows you to merge those records, to create one master record.

Before You Begin

Warning: Merging veterinarian records is done at your own risk, and cannot be undone.

Merge Duplicate Veterinarians

1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Merge Data
   
   
2. Select the veterinarian records to merge from the dropdown.
   

   Important:  The names of the Veterinarian do not have to match, so it's important to make sure you are selecting the correct records to merge.
   

   • Merge this Veterinarian: This is the veterinarian that will be "going away"
     
     
   • Into this Veterinarian: This will become the master record
     
     
     
     
3. Select Merge Vets. If the veterinarian records are merged successfully, you will get a success notification in the top right of the app.
