What are the duplicate status?

Understand what each status means for duplicate pairs in Delpha. Learn how Delpha handles auto merges, rejections, and steward validations.

Understanding Duplicate Pair Statuses in the Delpha Data Steward View

In the Duplicate Data Steward View, each duplicate pair has a score, status, and optionally a comment. These fields help you track the current state of the pair throughout the detection, review, and merge process.

This article explains what each status means, how it’s assigned, and how it affects the pair's lifecycle in Delpha.

Key Concepts

  • Score: A confidence score (0–100) showing how similar the two records are.

  • Status: Indicates the current action or required action for the duplicate pair.

  • Comment: Additional context, often used when a filtering rule or error applies.

  • Processed: A Boolean field (True/False) indicating whether the pair has been finalized.

Unprocessed Duplicate Pairs (Processed = False)

These pairs are still under review and may change if monitored fields are updated.

Potential

Default state. The pair can be reviewed via the Data Steward view or Delpha bot.

Excluded by a Filtering Rule with Discard: true. Can only be reviewed in the Data Steward view.

Auto Yes

Steward Yes

Validated as a true duplicate by a Data Steward. Will be merged during the next merge batch (also available in the bot).
