Description

Matching Category

Select a category that is defined within this option. Select +New Category from the drop-down to create a new category. After selecting +New Category you can type any text in the Category field.

Field Type

Field types are used to define the nature of the field you are searching for. For example - First Name, or Bank Account Number. Multiple rules can search for the same field type. Each Rule searches for this field type using a different logic. Select a filed type that is already listed within this option in order to add new rules for existing field types. Select +New Field Type to add rules for a new field type.

Active

The “Active” slider is turned to “On” by default. Turn the slider to “Off” if you do not want the new Matching Rule to be active. You can switch between on and off at any time later on.

Probability (1 – 100%).

Set the probability percentage of the new Matching Rule. This describe the probability of precise discovery that you attribute to the rule you are defining. The higher the probability, the more accurate you consider this rule. For example, when you validate a social security number, the 9-digit number could be an account number of the same format. Therefore, the Probability would be lower (ex: 70%).

Matching Type

Select the Matching Type. Choose between Column, Data, Data Function, and Data Sample. The differences between those options are described in the previous page
