The auto-merge feature streamlines a district's account creation process for any users who have multiple points of access. (*Most districts will have automatic merging turned on for their Frontline applications.)
Merge Functionality
To "merge" accounts simply means that you can send a single account invitation to a user, and this invitation will allow them to access all their accounts with one username and password.
It is important to note that auto-merge can be enabled for specific applications. You may have Absence Management set to auto-merge users, but not Professional Growth. If you have certain applications with auto-merge disabled, you will need to manually merge duplicate accounts in those applications.
Popular Questions

When auto-merge is enabled for an application, accounts will be merged if one of the following scenarios occurs:
