To edit your chosen approach simply double click the row you would like to edit, then choose your desired approach. Lead to Account:

• Link to Account, Merge & Deactivate - On selection of this approach, New Account gets created, old master account record get merged with new account record then Master record gets linked with Lead using parent account. After that newly created account will get deactivate. Also note other duplicate contacts will also get merged with Master Contact and then get inactive.

This section allows you to enable related entities to display within DQ for Dynamics. This is to prevent loading of entities which are not being used in matching, merging or re-parenting.

First, select your primary entity in the ‘select entity’ section at the top of the page. From here, you will load all the tables relating to your selected table

There are four columns to consider when including related entities; Post merge, Display Settings, Match, Reparenting. Below are their technical descriptions.

Include for Post Merge Configuration: This section allows you to tag related tables that you would like to include for deduplication after a merge has taken place. Once tagged, the entity will then display in the *Post Merge* configuration. Please follow the remaining configuration steps here.

Include for Display Setting Configuration: This section allows you to enable related tables for display on the DQ for Dynamics Review Screen. Please refer to Display and Auto Fill to understand the final configuration steps.

Include for Match: This section allows you to include fields from related tables when matching on your primary table. For example, you may want to find duplicate contacts by matching from a custom email table. Therefore, you would want to include the email field from the email table to define whether a contact was duplicated. Please see the following section for final related entity matching configuration. A detailed guide on related entity matching can be found here.

Include for Reparenting: This section allows you to tag the tables you would like to include for re-parenting when merging custom entities. Unlike mergeable entities, custom entities will not automatically reassign related entities to the master record. For example – when you merge opportunities (a custom entity), any phone calls or notes relating to the duplicated opportunity will need to be re-assigned to the master (surviving opportunity) by checking that related entity under the Include for Reparenting column.

WARNING: If these related tables are not tagged prior to merging, related entities may become orphaned when custom entities become merged. Make sure any relevant related entities are tagged before merging.

This page allows you to set default values to specific fields of non-mergeable duplicate entities when running sessions on mergeable entities. When a duplicate non-mergeable entity is identified, this page will allow you to select specific fields which you would like to change when 'deactivating' the duplicate non-mergeable entities.

For example, when merging duplicate Accounts, these rules will decide the default fields (such as Est. Revenue, Status etc.) of any identified duplicate opportunities, as they are unable to be merged.

A direct link to this page can be found within Custom Entity Configuration.

This section allows you to select whether you enable the ability for users to automatically merge identical record in the Account/Contact or Lead entity.

Please select the entity and then activate/deactivate the rules as relevant. By default these will be activated.

This setting has no dedicated page. This screen is used to interrogate CRM attributes and update any changes. Selecting the metadata refresh will pop this screen:

Note: This may take 2 to 3 minutes.
