消除重複¶
The Duplicates dashboard groups similar records to be merged by matching conditions within the records set by the deduplication rules.
Navigate to this dashboard by going to .
The RULE sidebar lists each of the active deduplication rules, and displays the total number of duplicates detected beside each rule.
By default, the All rule is selected. Records are grouped by their rule, with a Similarity rating (out of 100%), with the following columns:
Created On: the date and time the original record was created.
Name: the name or title of the original record.
Field Values: the original record’s values for the fields used to detect duplicates.
Used In: lists other models referencing the original record.
ID: the original record’s unique ID.
Is Master: the duplicates are merged into the master record. There can only be one master record in a grouping of similar records.
Select a specific rule in the RULE sidebar to filter the duplicate records.
Merge duplicate records¶
To merge records, first choose a master record within the grouping of similar records. The master record acts as the base, at which any additional information from similar records are merged into.
Optionally, no master record can be set, leaving Odoo to choose a record at random to merge into.
Next, click the Merge button at the top of the similar records grouping. Then, click Ok to confirm the merge.
Once a record is merged, a message is logged in the chatter of the master record, describing the merge. Certain records, like Project tasks, are logged in the chatter with a link to the old record as a convenient reference of the merge.

Enable the Active toggle to start capturing duplicates with this rule as soon as it is saved.
Lastly, create at least one deduplication rule in the Deduplication Rules field, by clicking Add a line, under the Unique ID Field column.
Select a field in the model from the Unique ID Field drop-down menu. This field is referenced for similar records.
Select a matching condition in the Match If field to apply the deduplication rule, depending on the text in the Unique ID Field:
Exact Match: the characters in the text match exactly.
Case/Accent Insensitive Match: the characters in the text match, regardless of casing and language-specific accent differences.
