      Description

      If rules are set up with weights as follows

      • First 1
      • Last 1
      • Email 1
      • Threshold 3

      and if Contact A has 2 emails that are the same, then if Contact B has a matching Last and Email, they will score 3 and hence be treated as the 'same' contact'.

      in my opinion any weight should only be 'applied' for a single instance of the value (eg email or phone or address) is should not be multiplied.
