Selecting Merge Candidates

You can use the

Match Merge Comparison

view to see if

Data Director

has identified any records that potentially match another record. You can then select the potential matches as merge candidates.

The

Match Merge Comparison

view displays the values for the record to which you are comparing in the left hand column. Any records that are potential matches appear in columns to the right of the current record. The merge preview shows the values for the record that would result if you merged the current record with any records that you have selected as merge candidates. When the

Match Merge Comparison

view first appears, the potential matches are not selected as merge candidates.

In the

Match Merge Comparison

view, review the values in the potential matches.

Select the check box for each record that you determine is a duplicate of the current record.

A duplicate entity is selected for the merge.

The Merge Preview column displays the record that would result from a merge of the current record and the records that you selected as merge candidates. The highlighted fields contribute data to the preview of the merged record.

The highlighted fields identify the values that are used in the merge preview.
