Overview

The Merge Contacts utility is used to merge two contacts into one contact.  

 


 

Key Concepts

Two contacts are selected, a Master Contact and a Merge Contact.  Next, the different data items are selected and the contact is then merged into one contact.

Note: Even though employees display in this applet, they cannot be merged.
