If two records are similar, you can place one in a Duplicate state
and establish a link to the corresponding record. A record can be a duplicate
of only one record, but it can have more than one duplicate.
To mark a record as a duplicate:
- Locate the duplicate record in the Query Results view,
right-click it, and click .
- In the Mark as Duplicate window, type the record ID or the unique
numeric suffix of the record of which this is a duplicate.
- If you are not sure that you are pointing to the correct record, click Show
more details to view the entire record.
- If you need more search capabilities to locate the record of which this
is a duplicate, click Use query. The Browse Record
window opens, where you can run existing queries, create new queries, and
search on unique numeric suffixes and text.
- To edit the record before it is written to the database, select Allow
updating the record before committing it to the database.
To revert the record to its original state, right-click the record
and select .
