Number of Sources

Kris T Christensen

Each time I pull up a merge, i have to scroll to the bottom to see which ID has the most sources. It would be very helpful if the screen listed the number of sources for each ID so that I could make sure the IDs were in the proper order.

I review each PID's detail page, sources, notes, discussions, & relationships extensively for various issues, including determining which PID I want as the survivor, before attempting a merge.

@Kris T Christensen Thanks for the feedback.

We have a couple of changes coming soon for sources in merges that we hope will be helpful.

Thanks!

Just curious. How often do you find that the record that has the best, most complete information and is the record you want to keep has few if any sources while the record with the inferior, least complete information has the majority of the sources?

I don't usually check number of sources but rather look at completeness of the vital information but when I have, it seems the record I am going to keep due to having the best vital information also has the best sources.
