Make it possible to export the list of Possible Duplicates found from the Duplicate Management tool in NXT to Excel or a Query

Often times there is not enough information available in the NXT view about the two records. If it was brought into Excel or a Query it would be easy to compare the records quickly, especially on Date of Birth.  Also, we have to have the Prospect information be included in the merge, which is not included in the NXT Merge options.  So that would be nice to be included as well. We really like the Duplicate  Management tool in its ability to recognize duplicates. Just the comparison and actual merge options do not include everything we need. So having the ability to bring it into a spreadsheet or a Query would help with that aspect.

    The Duplicate Management tool in Raiser’s Edge NXT web view currently lacks the ability to export the list of potential duplicates to Excel or PDF. This export functionality already exists in the database view duplicate management area, but not in web view.

    In its current state, the web view duplicate management interface is difficult to work in. Reviewing possible duplicates requires excessive scrolling and repeated “load more” actions, which significantly slows down the process—especially for large datasets. The performance combined with limited visibility makes it challenging to analyze, track, or share duplicate review work.

    Add an option in the RENXT web view Duplicate Management tool to export the list of possible duplicates (including key constituent details and match criteria) to Excel and/or PDF, consistent with the functionality available in database view.

    Benefits / Impact

    • Improves efficiency when reviewing and managing large volumes of potential duplicates

    • Allows users to further analyze, filter, and sort duplicate data offline

    • Enables easier collaboration by sharing exported files

    • Reduces time spent scrolling, loading, and waiting within the web interface

    • Brings feature parity between web view and database view

    There are multiple ideas here in the bank asking for this to be done: RENXT-I-4328/RENXT-I-8896/RENXT-I-2934/RENXT-I-2980/RENXT-I-5989 - most have Voting open on these ideas.

    We REALLY need this. This could really speed up the process for us.

    This feature is critically needed. I need to remove 4200+ duplicates created via a 3rd-party integration and manually exporting via screen-scraping to build a report will take a full day.

    Sorry, my comment was in regards to deceased finder results--- incorrect post!

    Yes, now I export and use system record ID to create a query, but that is only for constituents. It would be great to have the constituent record of the relationship also. or at least be able to identify constituent versus relationship records.

    If I could vote for this 100 times I would! We use the Mass Merge plugin to do our actual merging, as we have a huge amount of duplicates. NXT's possible duplicates tool has done the work of finding all possible duplicates in our database, so it would make our life so much easier if we could export those results to a query which could then be loaded up into the Mass Merge plugin. Not to mention just being able to filter and play with the data in a query to get a better understanding of where all of these duplicates are coming from.

    Yes please allow this to be an option. It would be incredible useful for some of the work that we need to do.

    This would be an incredibly helpful function
