FAQ
What happens if a record is flagged as both a duplicate and a child type at the same time? What is the priority of attributes?
The recommended order of events for Kernel's Cleaning action (outlined in Actioning) is to first Merge
, then Associate
, but users don't need to follow the recommendations in order.
Some customers prefer to use the hierarchy data first due to its non-destructive nature. The user can use hierarchy data to fill in the blanks of existing Parent Account fields, overwrite existing, or use a separate custom field, e.g., the one provided by Kernel in Custom fields.
Merge operations are destructive and may require further calibration, which means customers prefer to do this last.
