# Duplicate Checker

D.T will automatically check for duplicates on contacts.
It will show a flag on the contact if there is an exact match found with another contact.

The duplicate checker will check the contact **name** and all the **communication channels** ( phone, email, address, facebook, etc )

To see possible matches that aren't exact click Admin Actions and then See Duplicates
