When to use Deduplicator
Choose Deduplicator when:
- you suspect multiple Records refer to the same entity
- a File has repeated entries from manual merges or repeated uploads
- duplicate records would distort counts, totals, or business decisions
Good fits
Deduplicator is a strong fit for repeatable business rules that should be applied the same way each time similar data arrives.
Start small first
For a first Run, test the workflow with a small sample File. This helps confirm that the result matches the intended business outcome before you scale up.
When to use a different Tool
When you need to check rule compliance rather than repeated records, use Validator instead.
You can also use Choose the right Tool if you are deciding between Tools.
