Search and Compare

A best practice in data governance is to check for existing records before adding new records. When you begin adding a record, Customer 360 searches for duplicate records.
You can preview the potential duplicate records as they appear and take one of the following actions:
  • If more than one record is a potential match for the record you are adding, you can compare the records side by side. If you find that the records are duplicates, you can initiate a merge.
  • If one record matches the record you are adding, you can open the record and begin working with it. In this case, the record that you started adding is discarded.
  • If none of the records is a match, you can continue adding the new record.
The MDM administrator configures the fields to use in the search for potential duplicates.
