Siebel Data Quality Administration Guide > Enabling and Disabling Data Matching and Data Cleansing >

Enabling Siebel Data Quality at the User Level

Users can disable data matching, data cleansing, or fuzzy query for their own logins by setting user preferences even if these features are enabled for their application. The values in the User Preferences view are applicable to real-time processing.

The User Preferences screen > Data Quality view displays many of the same options that are set in the Administration - Data Quality Settings view. However, a choice to disable a feature in the user preference settings takes priority (for the current user) over a choice to enable it in the Data Quality Settings view. The reverse is not true: if a feature is disabled in the Data Quality Settings view, you cannot override that disabling by enabling the feature in the user preferences settings.

Use the following procedure to set user preference data quality settings.

To specify User Preferences data quality settings

1. Log in to the SDQ application as the user.
2. Navigate to the User Preferences screen > Data Quality view.
3. In the Data Quality form, set the parameters for that user.

   The following table describes the fields.

   Field	Comments
   Enable Data Cleansing	Select Yes to enable data cleansing for the current user. Otherwise, select No to disable data cleansing. You cannot enable data cleansing here unless data cleansing is enabled in the Data Quality Settings. NOTE:  Before the 7.8.2.2 release, this parameter was called Disable Data Cleansing.
   Enable DeDuplication	Select Yes to enable data matching for the current user. Otherwise select No to disable data matching. You cannot enable data matching here unless data cleansing is enabled in the Data Quality Settings. NOTE:  Before the 7.8.2.2 release, this parameter was called Disable DeDuplication.
   Fuzzy Query Enabled	Select Yes to use a fuzzy query for the current user. Fuzzy query only works if certain conditions are met; see Enabling and Disabling Fuzzy Query. Select No to disable fuzzy queries for the current user.
   Fuzzy Query - Max Matches Returned	Specify the maximum number of query result records you want SDQ to return to you. Valid values are 10 to 500. The default value is 100.
   Key Type	Applicable only for the SDQ Matching Server. Select Limited to generate a smaller number of keys, or select Standard to generate a larger number of keys. For more information about Key Type settings, see Table 11.
   Match Threshold	Applicable only for the SDQ Matching Server. Select a threshold above which any record with a match score is considered a match. Higher scores indicate closer matches (a perfect match = 100). Possible values are: 50-100.
   Search Type	Applicable only for the SDQ Matching Server. Select Exhaustive, Narrow, or Typical. This setting indicates whether the match algorithm uses a narrow set of matching rules or a more exhaustive set of rules.

Log out of the application and log back in as the user to initialize the new settings.

NOTE:  You do not need to restart the Siebel Server.
