Searching for Duplicate Records

The searching phase involves creating a query to find duplicate records and reviewing the query results. After the query results appear, you click a record to view that record, or click the appropriate Resolution view tab to view the duplicates for that record. For each set of candidates that match the selected record, you specify which record should be retained and request that other records be merged into it.

You manage duplicate records from the Data Administration screen.

To search for a duplicate record

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View >Site Map > Data Administration > Data Quality.
  2. Click one of the following view tabs:
  3. Click Query, enter your search criteria, and then click Go.

    4. The search results appear.

CAUTION:  You should perform batch deduplication first before trying to resolve duplicate records. For more information about batch deduplication, see Batch Mode and for information about performance considerations using batch mode, see Data Quality Performance Considerations.
