When managing attendance tracking data, processing check-ins for attendees with duplicate records is even easier with the Merge Duplicates feature. Administrators can identify duplicates with the same email address, then blend the results into a single entry for easy attendance reconciliation.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Overview
Merge Duplicate Check-Ins will merge attendance data from attendees with the same email address. The resulting merged record will have:
- the earliest check-in of the source records
- the latest check-out of the source records
- all uniquely entered codewords used across all of the source check-ins
Note: This feature currently only supports merging codewords as a compliance mechanism. Poll responses are not merged.
