To delete an author or artist from the Dispatch database, click the "delete" hyperlink on the same row on the main Person Manager screen. On the succeeding screen (right), make sure the "Delete" radio button has been selected and click on the "Submit" icon. The author or artist name will be removed from the database. NOTE: This will remove only the name, not any stories or images it is associated with.
Often an author or artist may be stored in your database with differing entries. In order to consolidate these entries, you can merge them. From the main Person Manager screen, click the "merge" hyperlink on the row with the name which is to be merged and then select the name which is to be merged into from the dropdown list on the succeeding screen. For example, to merge John Public with John Q. Public, click on the "merge" hyperlink on the John Public row. On the succeeding screen, make sure the "Merge" radio button has been selected, then select John Q. Public from the dropdown list and click the "Submit" icon. The entries will be merged under the John Q. Public name. You can confirm the merger by noting that the number of stories is now the sum of the previous two numbers. These actions affect the database only. Changes in pages will occur at the time of any subsequent builds or rebuilds.
