Configuring Automatic Alignment Rules

Alignment rules do not guarantee that all new items are aligned to master items. Use the rules to increase the likelihood of successfully automated matches. Administrators should continue to perform routine checks of unaligned items and review item alignment to ensure continued accuracy.

1. In OPERA Reporting and Analytics, click Admin, click Warehouse, click Miscellaneous, and click Alignment Rules.
2. Select the item property for alignment from the Alignment Type drop-down list. OPERA Reporting and Analytics searches for and aligns items with exact case-sensitive matches.

   • Reference Only: aligns items with the same property management system ID.

   • Name Only: aligns items with the same name.

   • Name and Reference: aligns items with the same name or property management system ID.

3. Select the number of times the application attempts to align an item.
