This article provides a guide on how to handle such scenarios in Plannr, ranging from permissions settings to alternative solutions like Circles.

Managing Duplicate Client Records

Step 1: Deleting a Duplicate Client Record

To delete a duplicate client record:

  • Go to the client record you wish to remove.

  • Click on the Actions button (usually located at the top-right of your screen).

  • From the dropdown menu, select the Delete option. This option is highlighted in red at the bottom.

If you cannot see the Delete option, check your user permissions.

Step 2: Addressing Permission Issues

Deleting client records may require specific permissions. If you lack these permissions:

  • Contact your system administrator or a user with higher access rights.

  • Request an update to your user permissions to include the ability to delete records.


Alternative Methods to Manage Duplicate Records

Method 1: Select and Enhance the Most Complete Record

  • Identify the client record with the most comprehensive data.

  • Manually move any additional data from the duplicate record to this main record.

  • Delete the duplicate client record afterward to ensure no conflicts.

Method 2: Update Client Data via Client Import

  • Use the Client Import feature with the 'Update' method to modify and consolidate data across records seamlessly.

  • Delete the duplicate client record afterward to ensure no conflicts.

At this time, there isn't an option to merge Client records.
