9. How do I merge two or more reports into one container?

The following are a couple of things to note before you start the merging process.

- Make sure that the reports are completed before you merge them.
- Once you have merged the files, you should not edit anything.
- You can move pages once the reports are merged, but it is not recommended.
- It is recommended that you start with an empty container. If you find a mistake in the report after the merge, you can go back to the original report, make the change, and merge the reports again.

The first part of merging two or more ClickFORMS reports into one container is to start with an empty container. Click on the menu File > New > Empty Form Container.

Once you have the empty container open, go the menu File > Merge Files.

A new screen will come up with the option to browse to the report you want to merge into the empty container. Select the report and click on ‘Open’.

The forms from the report you just selected will be added to the empty container.

Continue with the steps above, starting at the "Merge Files..." section, until you are finished adding your additional reports. Make sure to save your file with a different name so that you recognize this as the 'final' version of the appraisal.

* If you need to move some of the forms, you can do that without disturbing the numbers but AgWare does not recommend it.
* If you discover an error in one of the forms, it is best to start the merging process over. If you do not start over, you take the chance of disturbing the numbers on the forms. AgWare recommends that you start over.
