When duplicate matches are found entering data

When a match is found while you are entering data in a data sheet, a message is displayed. The record that you are trying to create is a duplicate of existing records.

They are identified as duplicates by comparing the values in their discriminator fields.

You can:

• Review the matching records and then continue with the 'new' record.

  Click Yes to review the matching records. Examine the matching records, and click Ignore to return to your new record. You can either edit the data in the new record so that it is no longer a duplicate or you can continue creating a potential duplicate.

• Discard the 'new' record and work on one of the matching records.

  Click Yes to review the matching records. Select one of the matching records (to use instead of the 'new' record that you were working on) and click Select. Edit the details of the matching record as required and then click Save.

• Ignore the message.

  Click No to close the message. You can either edit the data in the new record so that it is no longer a duplicate, or you can continue creating a potential duplicate.
