A browser-based administration console enables administrators and business analysts to access Duplicate Detect without special client software. Cultural preferences for time zones, dates, and language are configurable, which enables users to be in multiple locations or geographical areas from the product installation location. Console features are provided for business analyst tasks, along with typical user and product administration. The business analyst reviews potential duplicate documents and views reports, while the administrator sets up users, grants permissions, and configures runtime properties.

Applications or products check to determine whether a document that is being processed is a duplicate. They then send a message that contains key information about the document to Duplicate Detect. Messages can contain information on an individual document or a group of documents as a unit of work. Duplicate Detect compares the information to document messages that were already processed. An administration console provides access for configuring Duplicate Detect and for the business analyst to evaluate potential duplicate documents.
