A local identity link records a reviewed claim that two exact references describe the same item. It is not a physical transformation, consumption or shipment relationship. Obtain supporting source or document evidence before approving it.
Prepare the exact pair
Open Review identity links as a Supervisor with current grants for both datasets. Select the Identity type in both sources and the two different datasets. Enter each exact namespace and identity code.
Only supported compatible kinds can be joined, such as material lots, serial units, kits, pieces or tool assets. Different kinds cannot be made the same by a convenient display name. Check source generations and leading zeros carefully.
Enter Supporting evidence reference and Reason these references identify the same item. That reference should let your organisation recover the actual basis for the claim; it is not a replacement for checking it.
Review and approve
Inspect Review the exact pair, confirm the supporting-evidence declaration and use Approve local identity link after recent authentication. The server checks current endpoint evidence, permissions and revisions. An earlier local bridge cannot be used as its own proof.
After acceptance, inspect the retained decision and exact endpoints. The source identities remain distinct and the bridge appears separately in an investigation. Include both datasets explicitly when saving the new cross-source question.
Withdraw a mistaken link
If supporting evidence is wrong or no longer supports the claim, open the link, enter the revocation reason and use Record revocation. Withdrawal retains the original decision and stops its use in new current investigations.
An earlier saved run remains unchanged and an as-known query can retain the older decision at its cutoff, subject to current rights. Do not describe revocation as erasing every earlier copy of the report.
A withdrawn exact pair can be approved again through fresh endpoint evidence, current grants and a new reason. The endpoints themselves remain fixed. Correcting an endpoint requires a different exact pair.
Deal with concurrent or missing evidence
A stale review or expired preparation needs a new view and review. If an endpoint is missing, withdrawn or restricted, stop and obtain the proper evidence. Do not approve a guessed link because identifiers look similar.
For uncertainty, reconcile the original command before another decision. Use coverage and results and saved history when explaining how the bridge affected a particular run.
