I am looking for guidance on configuring survivorship for a Phone nested attribute on our Contact entity.

    The Phone attribute is a nested attribute with the following child attributes:

    • Phone Number
    • Phone Type

    We have a situation where two records from the same source system contain the same phone number but different Phone Type values. For example:

    Phone Number Phone Type Source
    555-123-4567 Business JDE
    555-123-4567 Mobile JDE

    In this situation, we want Mobile to survive.

    Is there a Reltio survivorship strategy or configuration that allows us to assign priority to specific attribute values within a nested attribute?

    For example, can we configure Phone Type so that:

    • Mobile = highest priority
    • Business = second priority
    • Home = third priority
    • Other = lowest priority

    Configure  the survivorship strategy for the phone type as "ValueBasedPriority".

    "survivorshipStrategy": "ValueBasedPriority",
    "valuesPriorityOrder": ["Mobile","Business","Home","Other"],

    depending on whether your values are "code", "value" or "raw value" you need to set the comparison field accordingly, e.g. 

    "lookupComparisonField": "lookupCode",

    Have a look here: https://docs.reltio.com/en/objectives/resolve-potential-matches/potential-matching-at-a-glance/potential-matching-navigation/design-survivorship-rules/value-based-priority-survivorship-strategy
