@SHust by the exception list do you mean when contacts are marked as 'not a duplicate' - we don't do that automatically, only manually

@Eileenmcnaughton, is there a way to pull a list of CIDs included in the 'exception' list? I'd like to investigate who is marking them as such and improve this workflow.

There is a screen that I can't find right now - but also visible in search
kit
https://civicrm.wikimedia.org/civicrm/admin/search#/create/DedupeException?params=%7B%22version%22:4,%22select%22:%5B%22id%22,%22contact_id1%22,%22contact_id1.display_name%22,%22contact_id2%22,%22contact_id2.display_name%22%5D,%22orderBy%22:%7B%7D,%22where%22:%5B%5D,%22groupBy%22:%5B%5D,%22join%22:%5B%5D,%22having%22:%5B%5D%7D

Thank you so much!
I see what's causing the increase in exception data—the 'mark non-dupe' action when an anonymous entry appears next to a legitimate donor's name. I'm wondering if we could send all 'anonymous' CIDs somewhere to prevent this from happening. Would something like that be possible?

Yeah - are you gonna do fortnightly in half an hour - would be good to chat about it

Sorry I couldn’t attend the call; I had an appointment! I'll make sure to attend the next one.
