Previewing Duplicate User Rule Results

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

After you have configured the rule, you can preview its results. This enables you to make adjustments to the rule, if necessary.

A preview is available only for custom criteria rules that have been marked as Active.

Note: Duplicate User rule criteria that have already been met by user consolidation rules are not considered as matches. In these cases, the Result Reason column displays an explanation. For information on the User Consolidation, see User Consolidation.

To preview the results of the Duplicate User rule:

1. Follow the steps described in section Defining a Duplicate User Rule to create a Duplicate User rule.
2. In IT Asset Management, go to the Duplicate Users page (Licenses > SAP Optimization > Duplicate Users). Choose a system landscape and click on it.
3. On the Duplicate User Rules page, in the Preview Results section, click Show duplicate recommendations.

The Preview Results section provides the following information (you can modify which columns are displayed using Advanced > Choose Fields).
