Duplicate Check is a set of rules and fields you can add to a checklist to prevent duplicate leads being added to ClickPoint. This can be a very important piece to managing Sales Leads as this will remove any duplicate leads and will remove the possibility of possibly working the same lead multiple times or by multiple Users.
A duplicate check consists of one or more sets. If any set matches an existing lead, the incoming lead is considered a duplicate. A duplicate set consists of one or more fields. If all fields match an existing lead, the set considers the lead as a duplicate and the record will not be inserted into ClickPoint as a lead.

Duplicate Checks
Note: there is a Lookback (hours) field, this is defaulted to 720 hours but you can change this to what your business standard is.
Adding Fields and Rebuilding
There are ‘And’ and ‘Or’ rules.
Example: If you have 2 fields in one Duplicate Set, this is an ‘And’ rule. This means that when a lead is created, it is evaluated against field one AND field two within your Duplicate Set. In the above image, you will see that there is a duplicate check on First Name and Last Name. Both values have to match the lead exactly to get flagged as a duplicate.
If you want an ‘Or’ rule, you would add multiple Duplicate Sets by clicking Add Duplicate Set and adding one field to each set. This works by evaluating against the first duplicate set, and if it passes, the check is done against the second set.
Duplicate check is evaluated against exact matching. ClickPoint checks against white spaces, special characters and character casing.
Duplicate Check Status Definitions (Coming Soon)
Active: The duplicate set is enabled and needs no additional action.
Needs Rebuild: This duplicate set is running in a less-than-optimal configuration. A Rebuild button will be visible to initiate a process to improve performance.
Building: This duplicate set is currently rebuilding. Upon rebuild completion, it will revert to Active.
Note: all visible Duplicate Sets will operate, regardless of the build status, but Active sets will generally find results much faster.
Additional Duplicate Check Information
If a file is imported via the Import Utility, the file will give a list of what failed/rejected. If leads are posted in via a Lead Provider, the response from ClickPoint will denote to them if a lead is flagged as a duplicate.
In general, you should try and keep duplicate leads from your ClickPoint account. Having multiple users working the "same" lead could cause for a negative consumer experience.
