Each objective that you select on the Deduplication tab contributes data from one or more input fields to the process of identity analysis.
An objective can contribute data from one or more of the following field types:
Mandatory field
A field that contains essential information for the type of analysis that the objective
specifies. Map every mandatory field to an input on the Deduplicate
transformation.
Required fields
A field that contains high-priority information for the type of analysis that the objective
specifies. Map at least one required field to an input on the Deduplicate
transformation.
Optional fields
Any field that contains additional information about the identity and that might be useful
during analysis. Optionally, map the fields to inputs on the Deduplicate
transformation.
When you select an objective on the
Deduplication
tab, the test pane displays the mandatory and required fields on the objective. The test pane displays an asterisk (*) beside any mandatory field. The test pane displays a plus symbol (+) beside any required field.
An objective can specify any combination of one or more mandatory, required, or optional fields. The combination of fields can depend on the index key that you select for the objective. The test panel on the Deduplication tab displays the current mandatory and required fields for the objective and index key that you select. The index key is always a mandatory field for an objective.
If you browse the objectives, the index keys for the objectives can change. Before you save and close a deduplicate asset, verify that the Deduplication tab displays the index key that you intend for the objective that you select.
