Introduction

This procedure allows you to find clients duplicates in an active list. A duplicate occurs when there are more than one file for the same client.

The active list is the list that is displayed onscreen in the "Client management", the "Task management" or the "Analysis & History".

If a filter or a search is made, the number of items onscreen decreases, but it still remains the active list.


To conduct a duplicate search, you must always go through the Client management.


Searching duplicates

To obtain a duplicates list, you need to use the Customized lists tool. To do so, click on the "Button Personnalised lists.png" icon in the Client management and select the "Static list" option.

F: This screen will appear. You then have to choose the duplicates detection criteria. G: When the criteria are selected, click on "Button Check mark Confirm.png OK".
WARNING: If the box "Same organization and same department/service" is checked, both must be identical. Therefore, if the company's names are the same, but the service is different, they will not be detected as potential duplicates.
