Custom Criteria for the Duplicate User Rule

The Custom Criteria section offers a higher degree of flexibility, enabling 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 search 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 define your Duplicate User rule.

The condition and match string must be authored in C#. See Properties and Methods for a list of properties and methods that can be used in the Custom Criteria section.

The following comparison types are available for your custom Duplicate User rule.
