  Key Concepts: 
  Uniqueness is a concept in SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) that ensures that each record in a data set is unique. This means that no two records can have the same value for a given field. Uniqueness is important for data integrity and accuracy, as it prevents duplicate records from being created.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Information Steward, you can set up a uniqueness rule to ensure that each record in a data set is unique. To do this, you must first select the field or fields that you want to be unique. Then, you can specify the type of uniqueness rule you want to apply (e.g., exact match or partial match). Finally, you can specify the action to take if a duplicate record is found (e.g., reject or ignore).
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a uniqueness rule, it is important to consider the type of data you are working with. For example, if you are working with text data, you may want to use an exact match rule, whereas if you are working with numerical data, you may want to use a partial match rule. Additionally, it is important to consider the action to take if a duplicate record is found; depending on your needs, it may be better to reject or ignore the duplicate record.
