Custom survivorship rules

You can create custom survivorship rules to determine the winning field values or record when records are merged. When survivorship rules are applied, they override regular Network MDM survivorship rules (source rankings, merge instructions).

Field-level Survivorship

Define business logic for merge rules to ensure that field values are not lost or overwritten when two records are merged together; particularly custom field values.

Field-level survivorship applies to merges only.

Supported fields

• Veeva fields (__v)

• custom fields (__c)

Custom keys are not supported.

For detailed information, see Field-level survivorship rules.

Record-level Survivorship

Define rules to determine survivorship based on the recentness of the data.

Record-level survivorship applies to updates and merges.

Supported objects

Supported for sub-objects and relationship objects.

For detailed information, see Record-level survivorship rules.
