Merging an Event with an Adjacent Event

You can use the Edit Final Reason feature to merge an event into an adjacent event.

Typically, you are merging events that should actually have the same utilization group and reason. However, the system might be configured in MES Client such that the comments of the events being merged must also match to allow the merge to occur. If this is the case, both the utilization reason group and reason, and the event comments, must be the same for the merge to occur.

1. Select the event record in the grid to be merged into an adjacent event.

2. Click the Edit Final Reason button.

   The Edit Final Reason dialog box appears.

   

3. Select the utilization reason group and utilization reason of the adjacent event.

4. If required, modify the entry in the Comments box so that it matches the comments of the adjacent event.

5. Click OK.

   The selected event is merged into the adjacent event. The new duration is equal to the duration of the two source events.
