Matching mode query

[Former Member]

Hello,

In Matching mode, in order to merge records in Merge tab, do we have to manually select the values as 'Set' for each and every field? Can we automatically populate the values which are exactly same in the merged record column?

Please help.

Auto-Populating the Merged Record

To help streamline the merging of multiple records that may have many fields, qualifiers, and attributes, MDM can automatically set the values of the [Merged Record] column in the Merge Records dialog with values from the selected records, so that you do not have to set them manually.

Which [Merged Record] values get populated automatically is determined by the setting of the Auto-Populate in Merge Records Dialog configuration option:

• ·None. MDM does not populate any values; every one of them must
• All Values Equal. MDM auto-populates values for fields in which all source record share the same value.
• All Values Equal or NULL. MDM auto-populates values for fields in which all source records have the same or NULL values.

NOTE  - The last two configuration settings correspond to the manual record merge operations Set All (Equal) and Set All (Equal or NULL), which are available from the [Merged Record] column.

Regardless of the setting, you must manually populate rows in which different values exist for the selected source records.
