Merging two project files

You can merge the data of two AnimalTracker files. With that feature it is possible that several people can enter their data independently. All user need to have the same data file, though. Create a project first with a map and all needed values and give that file to all users. It is of course not possible to merge files with different values. The map, the size of the map, the scans, the days and so forth have to be the same. Only the position values can differ. The purpose of this function is to merge these positon values.

You have three merge options:

• Values Of First File Are Dominant The values of the currently open file will be used if there are values in both files for a certain scan.

• Values Of Last File Are Dominant The values of the loaded file will be used if there are values in both files for a certain scan.

• Merge If 0 The value from the loaded file will only be used if the already open file has no values for that scan.

You also can use the map of the file you want to merge. Click on Merge Map for that. The dimensions of the map have to be the same nevertheless. It is only useful for aestatic reasons. If for example the other map looks better or is more complete.
