Custom Criteria in the User Consolidation

The Custom Criteria section offers a higher degree of flexibility as it enables you to specify the user primary record fields that have to be matched for the original and the duplicate user. In addition, you can define separate conditions for each user. The consolidation criteria (condition and matched field) for the original user and the duplicate user are then compared using one of the available comparison types, such as Exact Match, Contains, Similar.

You can add multiple sets of custom criteria to configure the User Consolidation.

The condition and match string must be authored in C#. For a list of properties that can be used in the Custom Criteria section, refer to Properties for Custom License Assignment, Duplicate User, and User Consolidation Rules.

The following comparison types are available for the custom criteria.
