Potential Duplicates

Potential duplicates are two object profiles that possibly represent the same object. If you add a new object and the master index application determines that the object you are adding might already exist in the database, the two profiles are listed as potential duplicates of one another. Profiles are listed as potential duplicates if the probability of a match between the two profiles is above the duplicate threshold but below the match threshold. Because object information is entered from various sources, an object profile might have several potential duplicates. In this case, it is important to identify the potential duplicates and to determine whether the profiles represent the same object.
