In this example, a user may try to create a contact (type person) with the following field data:

First Name - Len

Last Name - Marr

Default Phone Number - 213-380-5512

In this case, when the user clicks Save, a message appears showing possible duplicates that have been found:

Possible Duplicate Contacts Found Message Example 1

Note: A message like "Displaying 5 of 7" (not shown in this example) would indicate that the Duplicate Contact Manager was configured to display a maximum of 5 duplicate results but 2 additional possible duplicates were found and not displayed.

The user may perform one of the following actions:

Override the duplicate contact check by selecting the Allow contact to be saved check-box and clicking Save.

Click an existing contact link to verify that the contact is actually unique.
