Siebel Data Quality Administration Guide > Configuring and Using Data Matching >

Applying User Preference Data Quality Settings

The User Preferences view displays the same options that are set at the application level in the Data Quality Settings view in the Data Administration screen. Use the following procedure to view, set, or change the Data Quality Settings in the User Preferences screen. You can use the same procedure for both real-time and batch-mode processing.

NOTE:  The values in the user preference settings have a higher priority than the values in the application setting. This means that a user can disable data cleansing for their own login even if data cleansing is enabled for their application.

To apply Siebel Data Quality options for data matching in the User Preferences screen

  1. Log in as the user who will use the real-time feature.
  2. From the application-level menu, choose View > User Preferences.
  3. Click the Data Quality view tab.
  4. Set the deduplication and data cleansing parameters for that user.
    1. In the Disable Deduplication field, choose Yes to disable deduplication.
    2. In the Disable Data Cleansing field, choose Yes to disable data cleansing.

      3. For field values and descriptions, see Table 9.

      TIP:  Setting the Disable Deduplication and Disable Data Cleansing fields to No does not imply that you can enable these features without first enabling them in that object manager. For more information, see Disable Deduplication Without Restarting the Siebel Server.

  5. If you are using the Siebel Data Quality Matching Server for data matching, set the values for Search Type, Match Threshold, and Key Type by doing the following.
    1. In the Search Type field, choose a search type.
    2. In the Match Threshold field, choose a value.
    3. In the Key Type field, choose a key type.

      4. For field values and descriptions, see Table 9.

      NOTE:  If you change the Match Threshold value, you must stop and restart the Siebel Server Service for the change to take effect. For more information about stopping and starting the Siebel Server Service, see the Siebel Server System Service topic in Siebel Server Administration Guide.

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