Merge duplicates

Got a few extra minutes on your hands? Merge duplicates. It sometimes happens that stakeholders are created in duplicate, but since this can skew the relevance of your lists, it’s worth keeping duplicates to a minimum. Read our article on how to efficiently manage duplicates to keep lists relevant.

 

Get an overview

Your Borealis instance comes with comprehensive system reports that give you an overview of the quality of entered data. They’re worth consulting! You can also duplicate these reports and customize them to monitor data quality even more closely.

 

Here are two sample reports, based on data quality, that you can find in your Analytics reports list:

  • Data Management - Suggestions and Quality 
  • SE - Overall Data quality follow-up
