Known Issues – Duplicate Records
We have discovered that database duplicates may “creep” into your database without your knowledge. Some of these are the result of individual records that existed in both your database and the larger Word of Life Fellowship database, but with different addresses or even first names. In essence, any differences in the records might generate an unwanted duplicate in your database. See below. We also know that using Address Verification for record changes will eliminate many, if not most of these potential duplicates. Using that tool will change “Street” to “St” and “Drive” to “Dr” (for example) and will keep variations in street addressing from generating those duplicates in your database. Another reason for a duplication would be that the person has 2 “contact” forms marked primary. If they have 2 or more phone numbers or email addresses this will make them show up more than once on your list.
