-This help file has not yet being released.+{{ :​pergamonmystic:​linkedhelp:​mystichelp_bison_0007.jpg?​200|}} The **Redundant Items** utility is available from the **Catalogue Items Manager** and the **Readers Manager** in the **[Tools]** toolbar tab of each. It is intended to find and merge redundant catalogue items or readers, such as those which may have been created twice on the system.
  
-The Mystic Help Files are being re-written for the release of **Mystic v1.5during ​the summer ​of 2021**.+The duplication check is made as soon as the dialog is displayedwith the results ​of a report that none could be found being made automaticallyAt the time of writing this time, the checks are based on:
  
-For now, please use the Pergamon Help files by clicking the **Pergamon Wiki** Icon at the top of this page, or **Pergamon Wiki Home** below.+  ​* **Duplicate Items** - Duplicate items are reported if the items share the same HID (Accession Barcode).
  
 +  * **Duplicate Readers** - Duplicate readers are reported if the items share the same HID (Reader Barcode).

 +
 +==== Merging Items ====
 +
 +In order to merge items or readers, select all items required so that they are marked with a green-tick then click **[Merge Selected]**
 +
 +Click **[Toggle]** to invert all selections in the list.
 +
 +In both item and reader cases, the first item in the list is used as the target of the merge. If any components of the item or reader deviate from this target (e.g. there are empty fields), the fields are populated with the data from the first field which possess a valid value - effectively making a gestalt final record. This is also true of all attachments,​ membership of packages and bookings.
