How to merge structure duplicates and relays?

The deduplication process of structures and relays is based on the same principle applied for individuals.

Detailed guide

To deduplicate structures:

1. In the "Programmations" screen of the "Organisme" context, "Outils" module, go to Programmation, then open the detection of duplicates.
   

   If you don't find any programming concerning duplicates detection, it means that up to now, you were not using duplicate detection for individuals. You will then have to activate this program batch for the first time: on the "List of batches" screen of the "Tools" module, simply add a new batch of the "Batch of duplicates detection" type. Once the batch is saved, you will find a programmation for the detection of duplicates, that you will be able to plan at your convenience.

2. In the programmation detail, activate the new "Duplicate detection of relays and structures" option. Save programming by clicking on "Program".
   
   After the next completion of the duplicate detection, structures having similar names and addresses will be identified as potential duplicates, and relays of the same structure having similar information will also be identified as potential duplicates.
   
   

3. You can then find potential duplicates by going to the "Control of duplicates" screen of the "Contact" module. By choosing the "Including structure contact" research option, you will find duplicated structures.
   
   
   
4. By clicking on a line, you can choose which information should be taken from which contact after the merger, and you can also decide to merge both contacts or to indicate to the system that it is a false positive.
   
   
   
5. After the merger, the selected structure such as "head of the duplicate" will remain active, and other entities related to the structure duplicate (including its relays and history) will be attached to the head of the duplicate.

6. You can merge structure relays according to the same principle. Note that relay duplicates are only identified when they are attached to the same structure. It is therefore important to wait for the next detection of duplicates after having merged 2 structures for the relay duplicates resulting from the merger of both structures to be taken into account.
