Hi,

 

Start here for question 1.

https://docs.servicenow.com/search?q=Matching%20Rules

For question 2, there are several OOB matching rules for the same table. Access a list view of 'matching_rule' table records, add the 'Table' field to the list.  So create any custom matching rules you like.

Hi Bert,

Thanks for your reply,

 

I already gone through ServiceNow - they didn't mentioned anything about for this Q: " why do we need this "


I'm expecting some information about what kind of Key role Matching Rule will plays in CSM

why do we need this?
