Sample Duplicate Check Objects

Aptify provides the compiled object and source code for two sample duplicate check objects: one for Persons and one for Companies. A developer can use these samples as a basis for writing his or her own duplicate check object for an entity. Note that these objects are provided as samples only since what may be considered a duplicate will vary from entity-to-entity and from organization-to-organization. Additional sample duplicate check objects are included with the sample application. See the Aptify Developer Guide for details.
