Search Parameter

A search parameter is a set of one or more search rules that you order sequentially with the lowest (or first) search order level as the most restrictive, and the highest (or last) search order level as the least restrictive. A search parameter must be created even if it contains only one search rule. The delivered Campus Solutions search Parameter is called PSCS_TRADTIONAL.

Max Search Match Level

Select a maximum search match level, which determines how restrictive the Matching process should be. The values in this field depend on the value selected in the Search Parameter field. The system searches on the match level that you select, plus the more restrictive matches that come before it. For example, if you select a match of 20 (SSN Only in PSCS_TRADTIONAL), the search process first uses the more restrictive match of 10—or any match number less than 20—that you set up in the system.

Values are:

Name, Adddr, City, Bday, Gender, SSN
