To configure a new data quality vendor

2. Navigate to Administration - Data Quality.

   If these options are not specified, and the real-time duplicate prevention service is running, the check will still be performed, but you must navigate to the Duplicate Accounts, Duplicate Contacts or Duplicate Prospects tab when adding a new record:

   • Force User DeDupe - Account = Yes

   • Force User DeDupe - Contact = Yes

   • Force User DeDupe - List Mgmt = Yes

5. Click the Third Party Administration link, and in the Vendor list add a new entry with EDQ as the Name value, and dnd at the DLL Name value.
