What is the best way to check for account name and contact name duplication? I know duplication is checked for during an import but is there a way to check for duplication after that?
You can search for duplicates on a per contact basis. If you open the contact record the action menu should have a “Find Duplicates” button.
If you want to do a global search for duplicates I’m not sure there’s an out of the box way to do this. I believe there are SugarCRM plugins for de-duplication and, provided they work with the latest version of SugarCRM CE then they will work with SuiteCRM.
If you just need a list of the duplicate names and you have access to the database then an SQL query can be used to list duplicate names, though admittedly this might not be practical.
Hope this helps,
Jim
