Understanding Sun Master Index Configuration Options

About the MIDM

The MIDM is a web-based interface that allows you to manage and monitor the data in your master index database. Using the MIDM, you can search for records; add, update, deactivate, and reactivate records; review and resolve potential duplicate records; compare records; and merge and unmerge records. You can also view a transaction history for each record, view an audit log of access to the database, and run reports on the state of the data and the transactions that have been performed. This interface is configurable, allowing you to customize certain processing properties as well as the appearance of the windows.

The MIDM facilitates the use of screen readers and other assistive technology by providing information through HTML tags. It also provides tooltips when the cursor is placed over links and images on the MIDM pages.
