Bonds define how data in one system relates to data in another - matching and linking records that describe the same customer, product, or supplier. This is entity resolution, the core of master data management, and it’s the foundation for a single trusted view and every cross-system workflow in BonData.

Create a Bond manually

You can define custom relationships between any two systems.
1

Click Add Bond

On the Bonds page, click Add Bond (top right).
2

Select systems and fields

Pick two systems, then choose which fields to link. Add multiple field pairs for complex matching (e.g., match only when both First Name and Last Name align).
3

Set matching rules

Choose exact match or partial match. For partial matches, set a confidence threshold (e.g., 90–100%) to handle typos and minor differences.
Manual bonds work exactly like confirmed bonds - they appear in the Active tab and are available for use in Agents.

​
Data Map

The Data Map (Data > Data Map) provides a visual representation of all your bonds.
