Duplicate links

From In-Portal User Manual

Jump to: navigation, search

This section allows the administrator to identify and manage duplicate links in the directory. By default, the section lists all duplicate links found in the system, identifying the duplicates by matching the URL field of the links.
The field or fields used to locate the duplicates are controlled through View menu of the section, Group By sub-menu. Currently it provides the options to search for duplicates by link Name, URL or Name and URL pair.
If duplicate links are found, they are displayed in the grid below the toolbar grouped by the selected field(s). The duplicate grid has the following fields:

  • Link – displays the link Name field
  • Link URL – displays the link URL field
  • Description – displays the description associated with the link
  • Modified – displays link’s last modification date and time

The section toolbar has the following buttons:

  • Edit – opens link editing form for all of the selected links.
  • Delete – deletes selected links from the database
  • Merge – merges the group of duplicates. Only one target link in duplicates group should be selected for merging. All non-selected links will be merged into selected one. The merge functions adds the target link to the categories of all non-selected links in the group and deletes non-selected links, resulting a single link in all of the categories instead of the duplicates. Please note that you will not see the link in the duplicates listing after merging, since it will not have duplicates any more.
  • View – opens the view menu for the grid. Please see section 5.1.6 for more information on using the view menu.
