Managing identifiers

When iBase checks for matching records during the extraction, it evaluates each source record by using identifier fields. If the values in the source record match the values in an iBase record, then the extraction will suggest that the item is a duplicate.

About this task

Although suggested identifiers are automatically selected for each entity type, you can modify the selection to allow better matching for each entity type.

Procedure

To change the identifiers used to check extracted entities:

  1. Click Identifiers.

  2. Select the entity type you would like to identify.

  3. Select the identifying fields.

  4. Click OK, the extracted items will be rechecked for duplicates.

    Note: If no identifiers are selected, the imported item will not be checked for duplicate items.
