Changing the Pattern ID and Merged Fields - trillium_quality - 2.7

The Trillium Quality for Dynamics web resource XML file includes an <AutoMerge> element for the contact, account, and lead entities. For each entity, you can specify:

• The Pattern IDs that identify a match. You can change the default Pattern ID or add multiple Pattern IDs in a comma-separated list. For more information about Pattern IDs, see the Trillium Quality for Dynamics User’s Guide.

• The fields to be copied into the master record. When editing the web resource XML file directly, you can comment out fields you would prefer not to be merged, or add additional fields to be merged. (You can also add and remove merged fields through the Deployment Manager’s Edit Configuration window without editing directly in the XML file.)

In the contact and lead entities, the <AutoMerge> element includes the following:

<AutoMerge PatternIdList="100">
       <MergeField FieldName="salutation" />
       <MergeField FieldName="firstname" />
       <MergeField FieldName="middlename" />
       <MergeField FieldName="lastname" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_line1" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_line2" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_line3" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_city" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_stateorprovince" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_country" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_postalcode" />
       <MergeField FieldName="mobilephone" />
       <MergeField FieldName="emailaddress1" />
       <MergeField FieldName="telephone1" />
     </AutoMerge>

In the account entity, the <AutoMerge> element includes:

<AutoMerge PatternIdList="100">
       <MergeField FieldName="name" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_line1" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_line2" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_line3" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_city" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_stateorprovince" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_postalcode" />
       <MergeField FieldName="address1_country" />
       <MergeField FieldName="emailaddress1" />
       <MergeField FieldName="telephone1" />
     </AutoMerge>
