Reviewing Potential Matches
You can review potential matches of Reltio profiles.
Reltio Platform uses match rules to find out if two records are identical. Match Rules at Reltio determine if two profiles are a potential match.

User Flow
The user flow explains the steps that are carried out, when a potential match is retrieved and the process is triggered.
- Workflow Adapter retrieves a list of entities corresponding to the search criteria.
- For each of the entities, the corresponding potential matches are retrieved.
- Workflow Engine creates pair-wise review tasks for all entities excluding duplicates. The workflow engine assigns these tasks to users with relevant roles, following least-used assignment policy. For more information, see Business process definition overview.
- In the Inbox or in the HUB, the reviewer or the task assignee views the task.
The task details provide information about the entities and the corresponding
potential match. There are two options: Merge and Not a
Match.

- If the reviewer clicks on Merge, the entity and its potential
match are merged with the oldest entity as the winner entity.
