This example is for those who have some integration to Dynamics CRM and already are doing duplicate detection in the integration job. For an example, let's say that you have integration for contacts between CRM and AX. In the integration job for contacts, you have specified match rule when to create or update contact, let says that this match rule is the e-mail address. If you have created duplicate detection rule on contacts and also matching on e-mail, then following will happen: 1. Integration job checks if contact exists in CRM 2. Integration job will then either create or update contact in CRM 3. Duplicate detection will also check if there are duplicate when integration job tries to create/update If you trust the validation rules in your integration [...]

First, you need to run bulk detection on accounts using one of your duplicate rules. 2. When finished, open the 'DD Bulk Operation' result for the bulk detection. Here you will see all of the duplicates that it has found. 3. If you click on 'MERGE DUPLICATES' button, you will see option 'Select master record by using FetchXML.'

We have developed duplicate detection addon with lot of features that default duplicate tool don't have, but we have always missed one feature, that is to run bulk detection and bulk-merge in the background/inside CRM. Those who haven't tried the addon by now, to run bulk detection or bulk-merge, you need to have your browser open while it is running. This was not what we wanted to develop in the beginning but we couldn't develop bulk detection and bulk-merg to run "inside" the CRM because of limitations of Dynamics CRM and we have tried every workaround that you can think of. We spend some time thinking about an external service that can run bulk detection and bulk merge, one of the questions was if we should develop it [...]

Hello, I had some time today to check out new features in Dynamics 365 version 8.2 and one of the features that I was excited to try out, is the new grid function, where you can edit data directly from the view. Because Cowia Solutions has Duplicate Detection Addon for Dynamics CRM, I wanted to test how grid editing is working with default duplicate detection and the addon. In my testing, I have found several issues and that is why I'm writing this blog to let you know until Microsoft fixes these issues. Issue 1: When activating or deactivating grid feature for an entity, it will deactivate duplicate rules for that entity. (It will not deactivate duplicate rules for the Duplicate Detection Addon) Before enabling: After enabling grid [...]
