Improved
  • DC Job - The new DC Job Overview, with an updated interface and improved functionality, is now fully in use.

  • DC Merge Rules - Read-only fields can now have a Keep All Values rule in the advanced merge rules.
  • DC Direct Processing - Make sure new records are validated first, and deduplicated second, when both Duplicate Check and Record Validation are in use.

With the new Create Incremental Index and Create Incremental Index (DC Local) options, the index is updated for those records that have been changed since the start of the previous index creation job. If the last job was a delete job, you will need to run a full index recreation first before incremental index creation is available again.
