Plauti Deduplicate lets you find duplicate records across different Objects, including custom objects, with the Cross Object feature. This feature is available in all paid editions and trials. Read on to find out how to run a Cross Object job.

Prerequisites

  1. The Cross Object setting should be enabled on the Objects you want to compare. See step 1. of Cross Object‍, or watch this short video.
  2. The fields you want to compare between objects, to determine whether two records are duplicates or not, should be mapped to each other. See step 2. of Cross Object‍, or watch this short video.

Scenario of the second Object is leading

When searching for Cross Object duplicates, the Scenario‍ of the second object, the target object set at "Match With", is used to determine which records will be considered duplicates.

Furthermore, only the fields as configured in the Scenario of the second object are used to calculate a matching score, even if you mapped more fields in the other object's Cross Object settings.
