Manage Duplicates Using Duplicate Record Sets

Manage Duplicates Using Duplicate Record Sets

A duplicate record set is a list of items identified as duplicates. It’s created when a duplicate rule or job runs. Let your Lightning Experience users merge duplicates by granting them access to duplicate record sets.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs)
Available in: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
User Permissions Needed
To view duplicate record sets and items: View on accounts, contacts, or leads
To merge duplicate record items: Edit and Delete on accounts, contacts, or leads

You can grant access to duplicate record sets and duplicate record items to users with a Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, or Sales & Service Cloud license.

Duplicate record sets containing the results of duplicate jobs don’t include a link to the job by default. To include the link, use Lightning App Builder to add the Parent field to your duplicate record set layout.

  • View duplicate record sets.
    • In Lightning Experience, from the App Launcher, open Duplicate Record Sets.
      Note
      Note In list views, duplicate record sets are displayed in Table view only.
    • In Salesforce Classic, click the Duplicate Record Sets tab.
  • To manage duplicates that aren’t surfaced by a duplicate rule, create a duplicate record set.
    • On a duplicate record set list view, click New.
    • Specify a duplicate rule (in the Duplicate Rule field) or a duplicate job (in the Parent field).
    • In Lightning Experience, in the Related tab, click New. In Salesforce Classic, on the duplicate record set detail page, click New Duplicate Record Item.
  • In Lightning Experience only, merge duplicates in a set by selecting the Compare and Merge action.
