Query Configuration

Four different types of queries are defined in the Candidate Select file: a basic alphanumeric query, a phonetic version of the alphanumeric query, a blocking query to use for potential duplicate processing, and a blocking query to use for phonetic searches from the EDM. The blocking queries contain the following data blocks, which you can modify.

• Phonetic first and last names

• Social Security Number

• Phonetic first name, date of birth, and gender

• Phonetic last and maiden names

• Phonetic first and last alias names

• House number and phonetic street name (EDM query only)

• Phonetic street name and phonetic last name (EDM query only)
