Single Table Deduplication Module now has Multi-table join capabilities as well as some new features!
Multi-table join is now available when selecting “Fields to Show on found duplicates”, using where conditions to specify which objects to search, adding mapping conditions (fields to match on), and creating master rules. There was also the following improvements on the found duplicates grid screen.

• Color coding for easy identification of Active/Inactive/Queue owners
  
  
• Option to “Export Grid Data” to a formatted xls file (will look just like the grid). Raw data file option still available as well
  
  
• Grid Display Options: New dropdown includes “Show All”, “Show Checked” or “Show Unchecked”, and new checkbox option to “Show grid horizontal scroll”
  
  
• Count of “checked” items now displayed along with the x total number of objects in X groups, i.e. 4000 objects in 1800 groups (12 selected)
  
  
• A count of total merged objects is reported to the user interface and tracked in the log file when merging is complete, i.e. “Deduplication by group is complete and 6 Lead objects were merged into 2 Lead’s”

Support for Excel 2007 files (xlsx)
Excel 2007 files can now be read directly into MassEffect and “Default Restore File Extension” in DemandTools Options can now be set to xlsx.
