Best Practices for Accepting Data Verification Results

You can accept or reject the results of a batch data verification process run in simulated mode.

You have the following options:

• Accept or reject results for the entire batch

• Accept or reject results by country

• Accept or reject results by record

Note: All verified addresses displayed with Cleansed status are counted against the Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification quota irrespective of their accept or reject status.

Note: If you submit a batch for verifying in the automated mode, then you can't accept or reject the process results. The verified data is automatically saved to the database. All verified data are counted as verified against the Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification quota.

Accept or Reject Results for the Entire Batch

Accept the results for the entire batch only if you're sure that the data verification results are accurate. Reject the results if you're not sure about the reliability or accuracy of the batch results, or if the process results may reduce the data quality.

Accept or Reject Results by Country

The data verification process results depend on the data quality, coverage, and the geography information of the country or region.

Consider the following before accepting or rejecting address cleansing process results by country:

• If the percentage of errors is high and the results for all countries aren't acceptable, then Accept results only for countries with acceptable cleansing results.

• Reject results for countries with very high percentage of errors.

Accept or Reject Results by Record

Accept or reject cleansing results of each individual record. You can click Exclude to exclude verified records from the current and subsequent data verification batches. You can also select more than one record at a time using the check boxes and then click Accept, Reject, or Exclude. Be cautious of using the select all check box on the table header because the changes apply to all the records. We recommend that you review all the records before you use the select all check box.
