New Features Dedupe
The ability to enable an additional, related, object in a scenario to identify duplicate records related to a merged winning parent record.
For example, merging four Account records may consolidate duplicate Contact records to a single winning Account record. Users can now identify, and merge duplicate Contact records related to the winning Account record on a second Preview Grid in a single scenario.
Import
The ability to import note files accessible from the local machine to Salesforce via the ContentNote object. This currently supports .txt and .html files.
Reassign
The ability to create a completed task in Salesforce related to each reassigned record, configurable within Reassign Options.
Verify
The ability to generate a secondary status for email addresses identified with a primary status of invalid. Includes email address invalid, domain invalid, account invalid and mailbox full invalid.
Other
The ability to refresh Salesforce metadata from the header settings cog when on the dashboard. This previously required a user to log out or restart the application.
The ability to enable a filter in General Settings to hide scenarios created by Validity from the dashboard and all scenarios table, alongside the load scenarios modal. This setting is available per user and does not impact any existing operations of default scenarios, such as a scheduled job or run history.
The ability to filter a scheduled job activity notification, configured in MyValidity, by the user making the scheduled job update.
Enhancements
The Attachment, ContentVersion, ContentNote and Document objects can now be selected in the Match module.
