Siebel Data Quality Administration Guide > Enabling and Disabling Data Matching and Data Cleansing >
Specifying Data Quality Settings
Before performing any data matching or cleansing tasks, you must make sure that the appropriate data quality setting parameters are specified. Use the following procedure to specify the data quality settings for the enterprise. To specify data quality settings
- Navigate to the Administration - Data Quality screen, then the Data Quality Settings view.
- In the Value field for each parameter, apply the appropriate settings.
The parameters applicable to all SDQ product modules are described in Table 13. The parameters applicable only to the Matching Server are described in Table 14
- Log out of the application and log back in for the changes to take effect.
NOTE: You do not have to restart the Siebel Server.
Table 13. Data Quality Settings Applicable to Data Quality Product Module
|
|
Enable DataCleansing |
Determines whether real-time data cleansing is enabled for the Siebel Server the administrator is currently logged into. The default value is Yes. Other values you set for SDQ can override this setting. For more information about this, see Levels of Enabling and Disabling Data Cleansing and Data Matching. |
Enable DeDuplication |
Determines whether real-time data matching is enabled for the Siebel Server the administrator is currently logged into. The default value is Yes. Other values you set for SDQ can override this setting. For more information about this, see Levels of Enabling and Disabling Data Cleansing and Data Matching. |
Force User Dedupe - Account |
Determines whether duplicate records are displayed in a window when a user saves a new account record. The user can then merge duplicates. If set to No, duplicates are not displayed in a window, but the user can merge duplicates in the Duplicate Accounts view. The default value is Yes. For more information about pop-up window, see Configuring the Windows Displayed in Real-Time Data Matching. |
Force User DeDupe - Contact |
Determines whether duplicate records are displayed in a window when a user saves a new contact record. The user can then merge duplicates. If set to No, duplicates are not displayed in a window, but the user can merge duplicates in the Duplicate Contacts view. The default value is Yes. For more information about window configuration, see Configuring the Windows Displayed in Real-Time Data Matching. |
Force User DeDupe - List Mgmt |
Determines whether duplicate records are displayed in a window when a user saves a new prospect record. The user can then merge duplicates. If set to No, duplicates are not displayed in a window, but the user can merge duplicates in the Duplicate Prospects view. The default value is Yes. For more information about window configuration, see Configuring the Windows Displayed in Real-Time Data Matching. |
Fuzzy Query Enabled |
Determines whether fuzzy query, an advanced search feature, is enabled. The default value is No. For more information about fuzzy query, see Enabling and Disabling Fuzzy Query |
Fuzzy Query - Max Returned |
Specifies the maximum number of records returned when a fuzzy query is performed. The default value is 500. For more information about fuzzy query, see Enabling and Disabling Fuzzy Query. |
Match Threshold |
Specifies a threshold above which any record with a match score is considered a match. Higher scores indicate closer matches (a perfect match is equal to 100). Possible values are: 50-100. |
Table 14. Data Quality Settings for the SDQ Matching Server Only
|
|
Key Type |
Determines the number of match keys generated. Possible values are:
- Limited. The key generation algorithm performs only the most common permutations and generates fewer keys.
- Standard. The key generation algorithm performs a wider set of permutations to provide the most exhaustive range of keys.
Match keys are generated by applying an algorithm to the matching fields to derive a set of keys that can be compared for similarity by the Matching Server. The Matching Server generates multiple keys for each existing customer record. |
Match Threshold |
Specifies a threshold above which any record with a match score is considered a match. Higher scores indicate closer matches (a perfect match is equal to 100). Possible values are: 50-100. |
Search Type |
Indicates whether the match algorithm uses a narrow set of matching rules or a more exhaustive set of rules. A more exhaustive set of rules looks for additional data permutations, but typically takes more time to process. Possible values are: Exhaustive, Narrow, and Typical. |
Disabling Data Matching and Cleansing Without Restarting the Siebel Server
If you enabled data matching or cleansing from the Administration - Server Configuration screen, you can disable one or both from the Data Quality Settings view without restarting the Siebel Server. After you disable data matching or data cleansing, log out and then log in to the application again for the new settings to take effect. The settings apply to all the object managers in your Siebel Server, whether or not they have been enabled in the Administration - Server Configuration screen.
