Version 1.5.0.2, 2025 R8, February 2025

This new release of Duplicate Check introduces Search Indexes, which will optimize the duplicate finding process. In order for search indexes to work correctly, some changes need to be made, both in your Dynamics environments and in Duplicate Check itself.  

In the environments where you are using Duplicate Check:

• Enable Dataverse Search
• Configure the Quick Find view of the DC Record Index table
• Mark the DC Record Index table as searchable for Dataverse Search

In Duplicate Check:

• Enable creating search indexes for newly created or updated records
• Create search indexes for existing records:
  • Create search index jobs in Duplicate Check, and
  • Run these jobs in DC Local

Make sure to first make the environment changes, and only then the Duplicate Check changes.

Check and update your Dynamic environment’s settings

1. In the Power Platform admin center, make sure Dataverse Search is enabled for the environments where you are using Duplicate Check. It is disabled for Sandbox environments by default.
   
   
   1. Go to the Power Platform admin center > Environments  and open the Environment. 
   2. In the environment's Settings, go to Product > Features, and enable Dataverse Search.
   3. Click Save. 
      
      
       
2. Configure the Quick Find view of the DC Record Index table to include both the Partition Id and Index Contents columns.
   
   
   1. In the Power Apps Home, go to Solutions > Default Solution > (Objects > ) Tables > DC Record Index > Views > Quick Find Active DC Record Indices.
   2. At bottom right, at Find By, add “Partition Id” and “Index Contents”. 
   3. Click Save and Publish.
      
      
       
3. Mark the DC Record Index table as searchable.
   
   
   1. In the Power Apps Home, go to Solutions > Default Solution > (left menu bar: ) Overview > Dataverse Search: Manage Search Index.
   2. Select the DC Record Index table to index for Dataverse Search.
   3. Click Save.
      
      
       

Enable and create Search Indexes in Duplicate Check

1. Run the Entity Setup Process again for each entity.
   This ensures that each time a record is created or updated, its search index will be created or updated as well.
   
   
   1. In Duplicate Check, go to Manage Entities > Manage > tab <Entity> Settings.
   2. At Advanced Settings, in the ‘Start Entity Setup Process for Entity’ section, click Start Entity Setup .
   3. Repeat for each entity.
       
2. Create Search Indexes for existing records
   This ensures that your existing records will have a search index as well.
   
   
   1. In Duplicate Check, in the left hand menu, go to Search Index.
   2. For each entity where the Index Status says "No Index" , click Start Index Creation .
   3. Confirm to run the Index Job in DC Local. 
      In the search index overview, the Status will change to “Waiting to start”. 
      
   4. In DC Local, run each entity’s ‘Start Index Creation’ job.

When the search index is created for an entity, its Status will change to “Completed”, and its Index Status will change to “Index Up To Date” .
