Consolidation combines objects at the definition level in one object, the master object, and reduces the number of database items. This process consolidates all individual object relationships to other objects, models, etc., into the object definition of the master object in a way that is methodically consistent.
Warning
Consolidating rules can modify the message of your models substantially. The models may become unusable.
Example
The following model contains two XOR rules.
After consolidation of both rules, the relationships have changed. Generating a new model based on these objects will result in the following model:
