Once in the Merge feature, you can perform a merge of two People Records.
- In the Merge feature window, use the search bar and the PID or Name to find the first record for the merge
- At this point, there are two options:
1. Click for the People Record you want to merge, and Crimson will automatically search for any possible duplicates. You can then select one of the possible duplicates to merge or click to manually search for the second record.
2. Check the box next to and then click for the People Record you want. This option will pull upon a second search bar for you to find for the second People Record to merge.

For example, in the screenshot above there are 293 to tasks for the left record and 62 for the right. Underneath each entry is the how the information will be saved.
