Not sure if you have this feature or capability? Reach out to your administrator.

A correction tells the platform to correct a value for a specific record via an extraction rule if the platform encounters that value again. This allows you to correct the data without requiring a change in the external source data.

Limitations:

  • You cannot delete profile change events, like age or birth date, through correction in the debug inspector. You must upload a new file with the value removed. You can delete other events, like compensation payout.
  • You cannot correct profile conception and profile termination events.
