Definition

Assigns a relative weight to a field indicating the importance of that field in identifying duplicates so that the system can prioritize certain attributes for the purposes of the comparison.

Use

Dependencies

Example

You could assign a lower value to the City field, and a relatively higher value to a postcode field so that the system considers two addresses with identical postcodes as more likely to be duplicates than two addresses in which the values for city are identical.
