Merging Lists

You can merge two or more lists for the same module using the Merge Lists action. Merging a list simply creates one larger list by combining the records in each of the lists selected to be merged.  The original input lists are unchanged.  A MERGE list contains only records and cannot be re-executed.

To merge lists:

  1. Click the module tab and click the Lists submenu link.

  2. Search for the lists to be merged.

  3. Select the check box next to the lists you want to merge (any two or more) and select the Merge Lists action.

  4. IQ displays the Merge Lists dialog with the lists that will be merged.

  5. Click the Submit button.

  6. IQ displays the List Record page with a default list name that begins with the word MERGE, followed by the IQ module and List ID number, such as MERGE-People-100220. The Description field contains the list names of the merged lists. Both of these can be changed to a name or description of your choice.

  7. Select the Close action to close the list record.

The original lists remain unchanged. The merge process uses the Union connector to combine the lists you selected. If a record is in multiple lists, it appears only once in the new list.
