Create a deduplicator configuration

A Configuration defines the Rules that Deduplicator will apply during a Run.

What to define

In a typical configuration, you will:

1. identify the input fields that matter
2. define the Rules for the Tool
3. review the expected outcome
4. save the configuration for reuse

Configuration guidance

When you build a configuration for Deduplicator:

• keep the business goal specific
• start with the fewest rules needed to prove the workflow
• use a small sample File to verify the output
• name the configuration clearly so other users can understand its purpose later

Review questions

Before saving, ask:

• Does this configuration solve one clear problem?
• Would another user understand what this configuration is meant to do?
• Have I tested the logic on representative Records?

Best practice

Avoid combining unrelated business rules into one configuration. Smaller, more focused configurations are easier to validate and maintain.

Next step

After the Configuration is ready, continue to Run Deduplicator.
