      How To Merge Duplicate Learner Records

      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.
      Before you begin:

      Required Knowledge: Learner

      Required LRM Access: Admin

      Manage Duplicates in Integrated Apps
      1. The merge duplicate process in Wisenet will update the name of the unwanted record.  Wait until the name change shows up in the integrated application
      2. Navigate to LRM > Learners
      3. Open the Learner profile of the unwanted record
      4. Click Action and Select Edit Personal
      5. Un-Tick Sync to Xero

      7. In Xero, merge or delete the unwanted record

      Note:

      • If you merge records in Xero, old invoices will not automatically synchronise to Wisenet. To force older invoices to synchronise, edit the invoice. This will update the timestamp of the invoice and prompt it to synchronise
      • After merging data for duplicate records in Wise.NET you should check the records to ensure that integration will function correctly
