The Duplications Grid is produced after a merge purge has run. After closing the grid the merge purge job had to be run again to see previous duplicates.
A new button has been added to the Sieve menu group to bring up previous duplicates without rerunning a job.
A Unique merge purge is based on matching a key field such as telephone number. You can use a person's name or address as an additional match criteria. But often you only want to use the key field and display additional information.
The Task Item Selector now allows you to add Extra Report fields.
To which you may assign any field from your table that you would like to see on the Duplication Listing.
The Duplication Listing Report will display these field values concatenated in the second column of the report.

Now Sieve, Scrubs and Easy Street have their own tabs and the toolbar is not over crowded.
When adding an Excel worksheet to a project the open file dialog was not displaying all available worksheets in the workbook.
This has now been corrected.
An About button and dialog have been added to show the current version of the application as well as to provide a link to our contact page for support.
It is located just under the Close button of the application.
