Merge an event with an adjacent event

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

In general, you merge events that have the same utilization group and reason. However, the system might be configured so that the comments associated with the events being merged must also match to allow the merge to occur. If this is the case, you must edit an event's comment so that it matches the comment of the other event prior to merging events. In addition, you can only apply new comments after merging existing events.

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 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.
