Merge Manager
This is a great feature for line chasers and databases maintainers
and is available only in the Pedigree Explorer. It essentially shows the
differences between your current database and another selected database and provides
an interactive ability to merge selected (or all) records or copy/edit data
in either database.
To use it, select Merge View from the View menu then click on Open File To Merge
and select another databases to compare to your currently open database. The view
clearly shows the differences between the two databases in terms of what records
are completely new in the selected database and what records differ only in certain
fields.
Records from your current file are in plain white with light grey text,
while records from the merge file are colored in light red with black text.
New records have a red color in the first column, i.e.
the record exist in the merge file but not in your current file.
Changed records have a green color in the first column. The actual
fields which are different are also marked in green.
