Color Coding of Data Values 

Like multi-record selection in the Records pane, values in the grid within the Merge Records dialog are color-coded to indicate whether they are the same or different – and whether any values are missing – as further described in the table below.

Color	Description	Missing
None	No value appears in any of the selected records.	All
Black	The same value appears in all of the selected records.	None
Blue	The same value or NULL appears in all of the selected records.	One or more
Magenta	Different values or NULL appear in the selected records.	One or more
Red	Different values appear in the selected records, but all the records have values.	None

Notwithstanding the color coding above, for each row whose value is set, the value is displayed in black bold in: (1) the Merged Record column; and (2) each of the original record column(s) that supplied the value, highlighting the source of each merged value.
