Event Merge

Searching

If collection events with equal data should be merged, select the tab Events - Merge events as shown below. You may choose a project, a year, a country and the maximal number of results to restrict the search. By default all columns of the table CollectionEvent and additional information from the tables CollectionEventLocalisation and CollectionEventProperty as well as the exisitence of methods and images are included. To find similar events with different entries in certain parts, you can deselect those parts where there is no match in the data. To start the query select a project and click on the   Search for equal events  button. In the tree on the left, the result of the query will be displayed (see below). The events are sorted by their ID with the lowest values as top events of the groups.

Details

Click on an event to see the details for the event. For a complete inspection of the data of an event, click on any  event node in the tree and then on the button to open a separate window showing the details for the event including depending data (see below). You may open as many of these inspection windows as needed. The content will be displayed according to the time of display. For inspection of the top event you therefore have to close and reopen the window after a transfer of missing data as described below.

Merge event data

The target of the merge is always the top node of a group. To transfer missing data from events linked to the top event, select a depending event and click on the   insert missing values in top event  button. This will copy all missing data of the selected event in the top event. Finally select those events that should be merged and click on the   merge selected events  button.
