# Define to which forms fuzzy duplicate check rules apply

You can start a duplicate check rule of type '**Fuzzy matching**' manually or using a data quality assessment project.

To indicate the forms from which you can manually start a duplicate check rule of type '**Fuzzy matching**', set up the dynamic menu form setup.

To each form in the dynamic menu form setup, these buttons are added:

- **Check for duplicates**: Starts the first found active Fuzzy matching duplicate check that:
  - Applies to the main table of the form.
  - Is used in a duplicate check rule of an active data quality policy.
- **History**: Opens the duplicate check history of the selected record.

### Button style

In the dynamic form setup, use the **Style** to define where and how the '**Check for duplicates**' button and the '**History**' button are shown on the form:

- **New action pane** tab: To the **Action Pane**, the '**Data quality**' tab is added as the first tab. This tab shows the '**Duplicate check**' button group with the buttons.
- **New button group**: The buttons are shown on the task bar, right to the existing buttons.
- **Existing action pane** tab: To an existing **Action Pane** tab, the **'Duplicate check**' button group is added. This button group shows the buttons. In this case, you must select the **Action Pane** tab to which the '**Duplicate check**' button group must be added. You can indicate next to which existing button group the '**Duplicate check**' button group is added. If you don't do so, the '**Duplicate check**' button group is added as the first button group of the **Action Pane** tab.

### Prerequisites

On a form with dynamic menu form setup, you can start a duplicate check rule of type 'Fuzzy matching' only if:

- The duplicate check rule is part of an active data quality policy.
- The duplicate check rule uses an active duplicate check of type '**Fuzzy matching**' that applies to the main table of the form. The table to which the duplicate check applies is defined in the duplicate check header, in the **Table name** field.

### Steps

1. Go to **Data quality studio** > **Setup** > **Dynamic menu form setup**.
2. Click **New**.
3. Define the form from which you can start a duplicate check rule of type '**Fuzzy matching**'.

In the **Form name** field, enter or select a value.
4. Define how the duplicate check buttons are shown on the form.

In the **Style** field, select an option.
5. If the **Style is Existing action pane** tab, select the **Action Pane** tab to which the '**Duplicate check**' button group must be added.

In the **Action pane** tab field, enter or select a value.
6. If the **Style is Existing action pane** tab, you can indicate next to which existing button group the '**Duplicate check**' button group is added. If you don't do so, the '**Duplicate check**' button group is added as the first button group of the **Action Pane** tab.

In the **After button group** field, enter or select a value.
7. Close the page.
