BUSINESS RECORD ORGANIZATION · Workflow idea

Make related records easier to navigate and understand.

Bring the relevant record details together, identify the entries that appear connected, and prepare a clear proposal for linking them. Keep the original records intact while a responsible owner checks that each match is correct and approves the exact relationship before any shared information is changed.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Business records selected by someone authorized to maintain them

“Find likely related records and prepare an exact link for an owner to review before changing the shared record.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams connect records that belong together so people can move between related information more easily.

  1. Choose the records in scope

    Select the business records the owner has approved for review and keep unrelated entries out of the comparison.

  2. Gather the relevant record details

    Bring together the identifiers and existing relationships needed to understand how the records may fit.

  3. Identify a possible relationship

    Prepare a likely match from the available information and mark missing or conflicting details rather than assuming they agree.

  4. Show the proposed link in context

    Present both records and the relationship to be added so the owner can check what will become connected.

  5. Approve before changing shared records

    Require an authorized owner to verify the exact records, relationship, and access implications before saving the link.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A reviewable link proposal showing the records and relationship to be confirmed.

The handoff

A reviewable link proposal showing the records and relationship to be confirmed.

Keep in mind

Similar names or details do not always mean that records belong together, and a mistaken link can expose information to the wrong people. Keep access limited to authorized record owners, preserve the source details, and require an owner to confirm the exact records and relationship before saving a change.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose approved record collections

Identify the collections and record owners that may take part in this review.

Define how likely matches are assessed

Choose useful identifiers and rules for routing incomplete, conflicting, or ambiguous records to a person.

Protect shared record access

Limit review details to people authorized to see both records and understand their relationship.

Assign relationship approvers

Name who verifies proposed links and who may approve changes with broader access or operational impact.
