You can finalize the best version of the truth by promoting or overriding the values in the

Merge Preview

column with values that you think are correct. For the values that you override to take effect, the MDM administrator must have configured trust for the Admin system. When you merge records, if child-level records with values that you override are also being merged, an additional cross-reference record, which is called an edit record might be created or updated. An edit record is created or updated when you override values in the

Merge Preview

column. The edit record contains only the field values that you override.

To identify an edit record, look for the following field values:

Source system. The value is
Admin
.
Source primary key. The value is generated by the MDM Hub and is the same as the Record ID or has the format
SYS:<number>
.

If trust is configured for your environment, the records that appear on the

Matching Records

view have trust scores associated with the fields for which trust is enabled. Trust scores are a measure of the relative trustworthiness associated with field values based on their source system, change history, and other business rules. Trust scores range from zero to 100. A field value with a higher trust score is more trustworthy than a field value with a lower trust score.
