It may be necessary to split or join records that were not unitized properly at scan time. For example, you might have a record containing one document that should have actually been represented as two records. Conversely, you might have a document split over two records that should have been one document contained in one record.
Correcting document boundaries in Concordance is a manual process requiring several steps. It is important to proceed carefully to ensure that all of the data is corrected appropriately, so there is no data loss. It is recommended that you back up the database and imagebase prior to splitting or joining documents.

We recommend working with single-page TIFF files to simplify adjusting document breaks. If your images are multi-page TIFF files, they will need to be reprocessed in order to have the proper document breaks. |
