Deduplicate Objects and their use

Duplicate Check employs a number of custom objects for its day-to-day use. If you are wondering what these objects do, and whether you can do without them as a means to save space, read on below.

Plauti Deduplicate Analytics

This object stores logs about actions in Deduplicate for the Analytics screen.

Do not delete this object. It doesn’t take a lot of storage space, only 2kb per day.

Plauti Deduplicate Audit

This object stores the audit log of Plauti Deduplicate. Read more in Audit Logging‍.

Depending on your archival needs you can delete the records in this object that are older than an x number of years.

Plauti Deduplicate Duplicate

This object stores the duplicate pair information found by Deduplicate jobs.

If you were to delete this object, you would lose the duplicates found in Deduplicate jobs. Instead, it's best to delete unused or old Deduplicate jobs.

Plauti Deduplicate Group

This object stores the duplicate group information found by Deduplicate jobs.

If you were to delete this object, you would lose the duplicates found in Deduplicate jobs. Instead, it's best to delete unused or old Deduplicate jobs.

Plauti Deduplicate Index

This object stores the search index for a record. The Plauti Deduplicate Index object is needed for finding duplicate records. Each record that is indexed here takes 2kb of storage space.

Instead of in this Index object, you can also store the index on the object record itself, in order to save space. Read more about switching to saving the index on the object itself in Search Index‍.

Plauti Deduplicate Job

This object stores the job information of Deduplicate jobs.

If you were to delete this, you would lose the Deduplicate jobs, including the duplicates found by the Deduplicate jobs. Instead, it's best to delete unused or old Deduplicate jobs.

Plauti Deduplicate Log

The Plauti Deduplicate Log (dupcheck__dc3Log__c) object is used for Deduplicate Jobs. Do not delete or edit this object!

Plauti Deduplicate Queue

This object makes sure that records get an index. It holds the records that have yet to be indexed, and should be empty most of the time.

Plauti Deduplicate Temp File

This object stores information about how the product is used (no user details). There should not be a lot of records in here.

If you want, you can delete it via Deduplicate Setup > Settings > General - Delete Temporary Records: click Start Delete Job. Read more in General Settings‍.
