One of the biggest challenges of maintaining clean data on our network is having it scattered within multiple records. Luckily, Salesforce has a tool to help us mange records better! Duplicate Rules in Salesforce help identify & merge existing duplicate records and prevent future duplicates from being created! Any time you see a duplicate warning on a record page, you can merge and clean up the data!
