Deduplication is enabled by default. Your System Administrator can customize deduplication screens and match rules.
The default Person match rule checks if Last Name contains the value you entered. For example, if you enter Smith, both Smith and Blacksmith are detected as possible duplicates.
The default Company match rule checks if Company Name contains the value you entered. For example, if you enter Right, Design Right is detected as a possible duplicate.
By default, deduplication checks for duplicate people within a company. You're warned if there are two people with the same name in the same company. However, you're not warned if there are two people with the same name in different companies.

The system also checks for duplicates if you change any field that have match rules set on them when you edit a record. For example, you change the company name of an existing company Design Right Inc. to Design. The system checks for other companies, which contain the word Design, and warns of possible duplicates, before updating the Company record.
