Tuning a matching algorithm is the process of refining the algorithm to produce the desired outcome for a variety of data scenarios. The tools available for tuning include:
-
A match tuning configuration which allows data stewards to evaluate and adjust a matching algorithm for better accuracy when importing source records. With this tool, users can analyze data and iterate on the matching algorithm before running an import.
-
The Match Result tab in conjunction with the Duplicates tabs which use standard data profiling tools to identify data entries that are appropriate for matching records.
Note: Match tuning only works in a Match and Merge solution which is for entities.
Match Tuning Configuration
Use the following steps to configure and use your tuning solution:
-
Initial setup for match tuning, as defined in the topic Initial Setup for Match Tuning.
-
Create a match tuning configuration, as defined in the topic Configuring Match Tuning.
Match Results Tab Use
Review and improve a matching algorithm's effectiveness using the legacy functionality:
-
Match Result tab, as defined in the topic Matching Algorithm - Match Result Tab.
-
Confirmed Duplicates and Confirmed Non Duplicates tabs, as defined in the topic Matching Algorithm - Duplicates Tabs.
