The report for any submitted or completed System Duplicate Identification (SDI) batch shows the number of parties with a specified number of duplicates. You determine the duplicate categories to report on, for example, parties with two other duplicates, five to seven, or more than ten. The report displays the number of parties in each category, as well as the ratio to the total number of parties in the batch, expressed as a percentage.
For example, you define a category for five duplicates. The report shows that there are 36 parties in the SDI batch with five duplicates, and 72 total parties in the batch, and that 50% of the parties in the batch have five duplicates.
In the graphical view of the report, the duplicate categories lie along the x-axis and the number of parties in each category along the y-axis. In this example, for the 5 category, the bar would go up to 36. The tabular view for this category is as follows in this table:
| Duplicates Per Customer Record | Frequency | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 36 | 50 |
When you configure the duplicate categories to report on, you must divide up the categories in a sequential and gapless manner. This table provides an example:
| Starting Duplicate Count | Meaning | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | No Duplicates |
| 1 | 1 | One Duplicate |
| 2 | 2 - 5 | Two to Five Duplicates |
| 6 | 6 - 9 | Six to Nine Duplicates |
| 10 | 10+ | More Than Ten Duplicates |
You cannot, for example, start the duplicate count at five, then two, then ten. Each duplicate category ranges from its starting duplicate count to the next category's starting duplicate count. The last category in the sequence always means duplicates of more than its starting duplicate count, in this example, more than ten duplicates.
To get an accurate count of all the parties in the SDI batch, start the sequence at zero. If you start the sequence at 2, for example, the report does not include parties with no or one other duplicate.
Note: The meaning that you enter is displayed in the report to represent the duplicate category. The entered description is not displayed.
