Merge Customer Records (on-premise)

Occasionally a user may discover that there are duplicate accounts for a customer. This can happen if a user, or customer, made a typo or incorrectly spelled the customer's name during a previous check-in, and a new customer record was created. 

When checking in a customer, the user must enter the exact spelling of the customer's full or partial, first and/or last name, phone number, or the Account ID, in order for LobbyCentral to locate the  Customer Record. If LobbyCentral does not recognize the name or ID entered, the user is prompted to create a new customer record. 

Merge Customer Records is located in the Tools section of LobbyCentral. If a duplicate customer is found within LobbyCentral, the user can merge the records by running the merge tool. 

Note: Do not run the merge tool for customer IDs that are assigned to a pending or in-service request.
