Take a look behind the scenes and see what community ideas and other improvements we are working on, as they are being developed.

Quickly merge duplicates

You are probably familiair with the duplicate alert. When a candidate has send in multiple double applications the duplicate alert goes off. You then have to check the possible duplicates, and return to the "find duplicates" function if any candidates need to be merged. With thanks to @Riem and her idea on merging that has inspired to how we have improved the alert and subsequent merging.

To make it more easy recognizable that it concerns a candidate that has send multiple applications and it not concerns a candidate that after a while returns to your website and applies for another interesting job, the registration date is added to the alert:

This will give you a clear indication of possible duplicate applications. Note also that the merge option is now also available directly as part of the alert. This way you don't have to continue to the "find duplicates" function. You can merge directly from the alert.

When you chose merge, you go directly to the regular merge function. Here any differences between both copies of the candidate are listed and you can resolve conflicts:

After you have resolved the conflicts, you return to the merged candidate. The duplicate alert will fire again (before it was only shown once) and depending of how many copies you have of the candidate, you can repeat the process.

Is there a way to merge several duplications in one step after viewing the value screen? currently the above example shows only one duplication. Can this screen show all the duplicate entries that we have at once in order to resolve conflicts in one step with the remaining copies? that would save time to repeat the process again and again.
