Choose how to manage duplicate records. If a duplicate is found, it can be merged or overridden. Duplicates may be determined by Unique ID or other identifying information. If there’s a chance that you have overlapping patients in multiple databases, it would be better to use Subject Name and DOB as the duplicate criteria.

8. Select Import to move the selected data into your Main Database

When the Progress Bar turns 100% Blue the Transfer is complete.

After transferring each EXP file, you should have one Main Database.
