Developing Duplicate Check Objects

An important aspect of maintaining data integrity is to identify duplicate records before they are added into the system. Aptify provides a mechanism that checks for possible duplicates when users save new records. This helps avoid a situation where the same person, item, or event has multiple records within the system.

However, since what may be considered as a duplicate will vary from entity-to-entity and from organization-to-organization, a developer must write a duplicate check plug-in object for each entity for which the organization wants to enable this feature.

This topic includes the following sub-topics, which provide information about Aptify's duplicate checking procedure and describe how to write a new duplicate check plug-in object:
