How the duplicate search works
The duplicate search mechanism is identical to the global search mechanism.
Bpm’online uses data indexing to remove all special characters, and divide all remaining symbols and numbers into two or three characters and records them in the index, which is then used by the search mechanism.
Note
Actual section records are not modified during indexing.
Local search procedure:
1.The user creates and saves a new record.
2.Bpm’online processes new data (removes all special characters, and divides all remaining data into two or three characters) and requests Elasticsearch to search for records, which contain the specified symbols.
3.Bpm’online displays all matches, according to at least one active duplicate search rule (the [Use this rule on save] checkbox must be selected for this rule).
Note
You can learn more about duplicate search rules in a separate article - “Duplicate search rules”.
Matches with word swapping will also be found.
The bulk search is executed in a similar way, taking into account the active duplicate search rules. Please note that the list of duplicates will not display the records which were excluded earlier via the [Is not a duplicate] button. You can learn more about processing duplicate records in a separate article - “How to search for and process duplicates”.
All phone numbers are compared to each other, regardless of the phone number type: [Business phone], [Mobile phone], [Home phone]. For example, if the same phone number is registered as a business phone in one record, and as a home phone in another – the record will be considered a duplicate.
