Duplicates Search

To find duplicates of the necessary records:

1. Click “Add Criteria” and select the criteria you want to search for. Several criteria are available to choose (Figure 1):

   • ID. Search by the identifier of the etalon record. You can select if the value exists or not, as well as input a value in the text field: “Exact Value”, “Starts with”, “Contains”, “Similar to” and refine the criteria equal to “=” or unequal to “!=” (e.g. Contains or Does not contain the number “889”). Multiple criteria selection is available, in which case the “OR” logic is applied.

   • Rule name. Search by matching rules (drop-down list).

   • Set name. Search by rulesets (drop-down list).

   • Namespace. Search by location of records (entities/lookup entities) or a certain space (for example, the “Countries” lookup entity). Search by certain entity/lookup entity records (one or more) is also available.

2. Click the “Search” button.

3. As a result of the action, a table with found clusters of duplicate records will be displayed on the screen. Columns of the table display information about the number of found records in clusters and by which rules or sets of rules the clusters are formed (Figure 1).

4. If necessary, you can save the search query by clicking .

Tip
