This can only be done by an Admin or non-admin users who has been given access to the feature.
Manatal includes a Duplicate Management System that identifies potential duplicate profiles in your database and allows you to merge them.
To enable/disable the duplicate management system or allow non-admin users to use the feature, please follow these instructions.
Manatal allows for the auto-merging of duplicate candidates coming from certain channels. For more information please refer to the following article.
Duplicate Management Page
- When in the "Candidates" menu, click on the dropdown menu and select "Duplicates".
You will be shown all the possible duplicates in your database. Click on the 3-dots next to a candidate and select "Merge" to view more information and start merging the candidate with its potential duplicates.
You will then be shown all the information associated with the potential duplicates you have selected. Now you can either:
- If the candidates are not duplicates, click on "Mark as not Duplicate" to keep both of them as they are.
- If the candidates are duplicates, select which fields you want to keep on the profile.
- Click on "Merge Duplicates" when you are done to merge the candidates.
Manually Check for Duplicates
When on the profile of a candidate, click on the 3-dots icon and then on "Check for Duplicate".
Manatal will search for potential duplicates. If potential duplicates are found, a "Duplicate" tag will appear next to the candidate's name. Click on that tag to view and merge potential duplicate candidates.
You will then be shown all the information associated with the potential duplicates related to the candidate. Now you can either:
- If the candidates are not duplicates, click on "Mark as not Duplicate" to keep both of them as they are.
- If the candidates are duplicates, select which fields you want to keep on the profile.
- Click on "Merge Duplicates" when you are done to merge the candidates.
