Exclude users from the IMM duplicate consideration

[aishwarydubey]

Hello,

We have IMM setup with certain conditions to compare and mark the users as duplicate. But recently we have a requirement to remove a set of users from IMM consideration to reduce overhead. I wanted to ask if there's a way we can achieve. We went through the documentation but couldn't find anything with reference to this. For reference - number of users to be ignored are in tens of thousand.

Thank you!

You can add condition in global configuration  in Set Coarse Matching Filter's definition (Mandatory)*

SUBSTRING(t1.FIRSTNAME,1,4) = SUBSTRING(t2.FIRSTNAME,1,4) and SUBSTRING(t1.LASTNAME,1,4) = SUBSTRING(t2.LASTNAME,1,4) and t1.USERKEY <> t2.USERKEY and t1.customproperty1 !='IMMSKIP'

Thank you for the suggestion Rushikesh! That's what we were planning to do if noting else but we are trying to find a way where we won't have to use an extra dynamic attribute for this. Is there any other way where without using any dynamic attribute we can achieve this?

This is only configuration

One las question please, will it be implemented for the existing users as well or will it be just for new users? And what would be the steps to implement it for existing users if any.

Hi @aishwarydubey , after running the duplicate identity job it should pick all the users matching the filter

Thank you for the suggestion!
