If there are duplicate records of a Learner this could affect your reporting requirements. This function allows the two records to merge without the loss of information.
The system will copy all linked records from one Learner record to another. This includes:
- Disability and prior education
- Enrolments
- Workplace Position
- Class Registration
- Documents
- Journals
- Checklist Items
- Opportunities
Note
- No other demographic/contact data will be copied.
- Merging is permanent and cannot be undone.
