Levels of Enabling and Disabling Data Cleansing and Data Matching

In the Siebel application there are various levels at which you can enable or disable data cleansing and data matching as summarized in Table 9. In some of these views you can also specify the vendor used for data cleansing or data matching (the type). The table also shows who is most likely to set the parameters in each view.

Data steward and end users

NOTE:  A data steward monitors the quality of incoming and outgoing data for an organization.

The values of parameters at the user level override the values at the object manager level. In turn, the values at the in the object manager level override the settings specified at the enterprise level. This allows administrators to enable data matching or cleansing for one application but not another and allows users to disable data matching or cleansing for their own login even if data matching or cleansing is enabled for their application.

However, data matching or data cleansing cannot be enabled for a user login if data matching or data cleansing are not enabled at the object manager level.

Even if data cleansing and data matching are enabled, cleansing and matching are only triggered for fields that are defined in DataCleansing and DeDuplication user properties for the relevant business components.
