A matching rule item determines which field the matching rule uses to identify a duplicate record. It also determines the method used to compare value that two records have for the field. For example, a matching rule item might specify that the Email field values of two records must match exactly in order for the records to be considered duplicates.
When a matching rule has multiple matching rule items, it means that multiple fields must match in order for the records to be identified as dupcliates.
