Working with Assumed Matches on the EDM

The Matching Review function of the EDM allows you to view any object profiles that were automatically updated by the master index application as a result of an assumed match. You can reverse the assumed match if necessary. This section provides instructions for finding profiles updated by an assumed match and then reversing the update if necessary. Perform the following tasks to work with profiles that were automatically matched.

• Reversing an Assumed Match on the EDM

Finding Assumed Matches on the EDM

You can find object profiles that were updated by an assumed match using the Matching Review function of the EDM. When you search for assumed matches, you can select an object profile to view from a results list.

Reversing an Assumed Match on the EDM

If you find that an assumed match was made in error, you can reverse the assumed match. This process returns the updated object profile to its status just prior to the assumed match update, creates a new object profile for the record that caused the assumed match, and recalculates the SBR for the existing profile.

To Reverse an Assumed Match

1. View the assumed match profile, as described in Finding Assumed Matches on the EDM.
2. In the upper portion of the page, click Undo Assumed Match.

   A confirmation dialog box appears, providing the EUID number of the new profile that will be created as a result of reversing the match.

3. On the confirmation dialog box, click OK.

   The assumed match is reversed, the updated profile is returned to its state prior to the assumed match, and a new object profile is created for the system record that caused the assumed match. Any changes that were made after the assumed match but before reversing the assumed match are retained.
