Duplicated Contacts

Use the Duplicated Contacts search form to find duplicated contacts based on a range of contact codes. You can also search for all contacts by leaving the From and To fields blank.

The search returns a list of duplicate contacts based on any of:

• Email address
• Business phone
• Name. Use the Deduplication Word Maintenance form to specify words to have ignored during the duplication check.
• First letter of full name appended to surname.

The duplicate contacts appear in the table. You can select the duplicated contact and edit it by clicking the Maintain Duplicates button. The Duplication Maintenance form opens.

Duplication Maintenance Form

The Duplication Maintenance form lists all the duplicate records for the selected contact. You can:

• Drill-down on the duplicate and delete the record.
• If the record is similar but not a duplicate record, then you select the Non-dup option and save. This marks the record as a non-duplicate (for the selected applicant) so that it is not retrieved when you search on duplicates in the future.
• Click the Show Non-Dup button to access to all records that were previously marked as non-duplicate.

Contact From and To

Select the range of contacts to base the duplicated search on from the From and To search fields.
