Matching Rules for Node Types By Data Source

Matching rules can be defined for node types which have nodes coming from other data sources that need to be matched with existing nodes based on their property values.  Each matching rule is configured for a particular data source and the rule's criteria are based on the properties of the node type.  Multiple rules can be defined for a node type and data source and each matching rule is assigned a Rule Order which controls the order in which match results are returned.  Matching rules can evaluate the Name property or any other indexed property and may use one or more rule criteria.  String data type properties support Equals, Contains, or Similar To (fuzzy) types of matches.  Integer, Float, Date, and Timestamp properties can be matched using Equals, Greater Than, Less Than, or Between logic.

Business Benefit: Matching rules allow data records with different identifiers from multiple data sources to be matched based on similar property values.
