Dedupe merging
April 04, 2009, 07:45:46 pm
I just did some de-duping & I realised that the default recommendation is to merge the later record into the original record (I'm finding that the other is the more up-to-date). What would help though is if the screen indicated which record had the more recent activity.

Generally our data is updated during event registration so if I could see that without going into each contact I could which one the customer is actually using

Here here. I was just experiencing the same thing. Perhaps even displaying the most recent activity and who made the change? This would be great help!

I second this emotion.

Also would be nice if dupes were ordered by weight?  They used to be.  Not in 3.3.2 anymore
