This table shows the default configuration of Real-Time screening processes, but these may be customized independently of one another.

The data used to create the clusters is created before matching by the preparation process. In all cases, the clusters use the prepared and normalized name attributes dnGivenNames, dnFamilyName , dnFullName, dnEntityName, and dnOriginalScriptName. For further information see Name Normalization.
