# Multi-Settings & Scope

### Overview

Instead of scanning your entire Salesforce database with a single rule, Delpha allows you to create multiple Detection Configurations. Each configuration can have its own "Scope"—a specific subset of records defined by a filter.

Why use this?

* Performance: Limit analysis to only active or recently modified records.
* Segmentation: Apply different matching rules for different countries (e.g., strict matching for Germany, loose matching for the US).

### Step-by-Step Configuration

#### Step 1: Access Detection Settings

1. Open the Delpha Setup App in Salesforce.
2. In the left-hand navigation menu, expand Duplicates and select Detection Settings.

#### Step 2: Define the Scope (Record Filter)

This is the most critical step. You will use the Record Filter to tell Delpha exactly which records belong to this specific configuration.

1. Locate the Record Filter section (marked as `OPTIONAL`) and click the arrow to expand it.
2. Select a Field: Click in the search box (`Enter a field name...`) and choose the field that defines your scope (e.g., `Billing Country`, `Record Type`, or `Created Date`).
3. Add the Condition: Click the + Add Condition button.
4. Set the Rule:
   * Operator: Choose how to filter (e.g., *Equals*, *Contains*, *Starts With*).
   * Value: Enter the value that defines this segment (e.g., "France" or "Enterprise").

> Example: To limit the scope to only French accounts, your filter would look like:
>
> * Field: `Billing Country` | Operator: `Equals` | Value: `France`

#### Step 3: Combine Multiple Criteria (Optional)

If your scope is complex (e.g., "Active Customers in France"), you can add multiple conditions.

1. Add a second condition (e.g., `Status` Equals `Active`).
2. Use the Filter Logic dropdown (top right) to define how these rules work together:
   * All AND: The record must match *every* rule (Strict scope).
   * Any OR: The record must match *at least one* rule (Broad scope).
   * Custom Logic: Use parentheses (e.g., `1 AND (2 OR 3)`) for advanced segmentation.

### Best Practices for Multi-Settings

* Avoid Overlap: Ensure your Record Filters are distinct. If a record matches the filter criteria for *two* different settings, Delpha may process it twice or default to the highest priority setting, which wastes tokens and processing power.
* Naming Convention: Name your settings clearly based on their scope (e.g., *"Duplicate Detection - France Only"* or *"Detection - VIP Accounts"*).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.delpha.io/delpha-for-salesforce/use-cases-setup/duplicate/duplicate-detection/multi-settings-and-scope.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
