Viewing Duplicate Records

Mohammed Jamal Updated by Mohammed Jamal

The system runs a Scheduled Job that checks records on a nightly basis for duplicates. These duplicates are identified using the Duplicate Detection Rules and Conditions. The system creates a Duplicate Record for each record that has a duplicate. Each Duplicate Record includes Subordinate Duplicates - these are the records that are identified as duplicates of the record for which the Duplicate Record was created.

For example, say the system identifies three duplicate records: Record A, Record B and Record C. A Duplicate Record is created for each record. Records B and C are Subordinate Records of the Duplicate Record created for Record A; Records A and C are Subordinate Records of the Duplicate Record created for Record B; and Records A and B are Subordinate Records of the Duplicate Record created for Record C.

Duplicate Records and Subordinate Records are overwritten each time the Schedule Job runs.

To view these Duplicate Records:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Configuration > Data Management. The 'Data Management' page is displayed.
  2. Expand the Duplicate Detection section, and select Duplicate Records. The 'Duplicate Records' page is displayed.
  3. Select a record entry. The 'Duplicate Record' page is displayed.

The following table describes the available fields on the Duplicate Record screen (all fields are read-only and mandatory):
