PSFS Family Directory - Member List: How to merge duplicate member records

How to merge duplicate member records

The following caveats must be in place to use this feature:

  • This article is specifically written to show how to merge duplicate member records. See the following article to learn how to merge duplicate family records.
  • First, if you are under a diocese who uses the ParishSOFT Diocesan Suite, the diocese must turn this feature on for your church. Otherwise, that permission is turned off by default.
  • In addition to that permission, each church administrator must give this permission to the staff responsible for merging duplicate records (Administration -> Manage Staff)
  • Also, both families must be owned (registered) to the parish or the diocese will need to do the merge.
