You can use only general criteria, or only custom criteria, or a combination of both to
        configure the User Consolidation, and effectively specify the field or fields that SAP uses
        to consolidate users in the LAW.
    
    To configure the User Consolidation:
- 
        In FlexNet Manager Suite, click SAP, point to Optimization and click User Consolidation.
      
- 
        On the User Consolidation Configuration page, in the
            General Criteria section, click Edit to
          switch to write-enabled mode.
      
- 
        Select the check box for each field that should be used to find users to be consolidated. The following criteria are available:
        
          - 
              User Name

              Last Name, First Name

- 
        Click Save.
        
          In read-only mode, the criteria you selected are marked with
                    Yes; unselected criteria are marked with
                    No. 
 
- 
        On the Use Consolidation Configuration page, in the
            Custom Criteria section, click Add to open
          the Create Custom Rule dialog. Provide the following information to
          define the custom criteria:
