👉 Contact Merge feature will help keep your database tidy.

You can now merge Contact records that are from the same Company, including appending Jobs or documents to the master record before deleting the duplicate.

Note:

  • This function only works for two Contacts that are listed under the same Company as jobs are company-specific.

  • You can not merge two Contacts that are both linked to TimeTemp, Engage, or Digital accounts.

  • You can merge two Contacts if only one has a TimeTemp, Engage, or Digital account.
