Click Change Strategy to display the following screen elements in the Alert Scoring Strategy Selector:

• Current Alert Scoring Strategy: Displays the name of the currently set alert scoring strategy.
• New Alert Scoring Strategy option buttons: Enables you to select an alert scoring strategy of Highest Match Score or Average Match Score.
  • Highest Match Score: Bases the score of an alert on the most critical match associated with the alert. The system assigns the alert a score equal to the highest score of any of the associated matches.

    For example:

    Match 1 Score = 40

    Match 2 Score = 80

    Match 3 Score = 60

    Alert Score = 80

  • Average Match Score: Assigns an alert a score equal to the average of the scores of the associated matches. The system sums each of the score’s associated matches and divides the total by the quantity of related matches.

    For example:

    Match 1 Score = 40

    Match 2 Score = 80

    Match 3 Score = 60 Alert Score = 60 ((40+80+60)/3)
