DC Local is available for the Advanced and Premium editions.

About DC Local

Duplicate Check Local is an application that can be installed on any laptop or computer. It is installed either on the same machine as where you use Salesforce (DC Local), or on a different machine (DC Local Server Mode‍). The advantage of DC Local on your own machine is that it offers slightly more features, while with DC Local Server Mode you can have DC Local installed on a separate machine without the need for all users to install it on their own device.

DC Local processes data on a local machine and returns results to the Salesforce Cloud Service. These results can then be used in further user actions in the Salesforce environment.

Use Duplicate Check Local to run DC Jobs or DC Export with the processing power of your local device. This way the data can be processed much faster.

The Process

Duplicate check local will download your encrypted data via a secured connection from the Salesforce Cloud.

DC Job

When starting a Duplicate Check Job in DC Local, encrypted records in Salesforce are temporarily stored on your local machine until all duplicate results are found. When the job is finished, results are pushed back to Salesforce, where you can review the results and execute an (automatic) merge or convert. The encrypted records will automatically be removed from your local device, keeping it 100% safe and secure.

Depending on the speed of your internet connection and the amount of data you want to process with DC Local, job completion time may vary.

DC Export

DC Local creates a file with the data exported from the Salesforce Cloud, and stores it on the local machine where DC Local is installed.
