Change Properties Used to Determine Duplicate Items

Map properties values that are used to determine duplicate items on the Properties dialog.

If a duplicate item is found, Vault automatically assigns the file to the duplicate item. If that item already has a primary link, the file may be added as a secondary link.

1. From the Tools menu select Administration and Vault Settings.
2. Select the Behaviors tab.
3. Click the Properties... button.
4. Highlight the Equivalence Value property and click Edit.
5. Add mappings to the properties whose values you wish to be used as equivalence comparisons.

For more information, see Mapping Properties

The properties mapped to Equivalence Value, will provide the values used to determine if an existing item already exists for a file being newly assigned to item.
