Considering the robust nature of the matching, linking, and merging functionality, configuration can be complex. Before beginning the configuration it is necessary to develop a complete deduplication strategy. To do so requires intimate knowledge of the data in question. To that end, data profiles are a great way to examine your data and can aid in developing your strategy.
For more information about deduplication strategies, see the Configuration Example - Basic
For more information about data profiles, see the About Data Profiling section of the Data Profiling documentation here.
Once a strategy has been developed, users will have to configure underlying attributes for use in the configuration, as well as potentially writing JavaScript for dictating the logic of the matching algorithm. Typical configuration steps include:
