You can change candidate builder settings by using candidate builder
configurations. Changes to the candidate builder feature are made using the
Configuration Console.
Candidate builder
The candidate builder feature defines criteria the system uses
to add an existing entity to the candidate list as part of the entity resolution
process.
Candidate lists
Candidate lists are the lists of entities that have the potential
to match the incoming identity record. The candidate list is built by retrieving
those entities that share attributes with the incoming identity, based on
the attributes that are specified in the candidate builder configuration.
Creating candidate builder configurations
You can use the Configuration Console to create new groups of candidate
builder settings. These candidate builder configurations are useful as an
easy way to apply a variety of configured candidate builder settings by changing
only one setting.
Adding criteria to candidate builder configurations
You can use the Configuration Console to add data types to existing
candidate builder configurations which specify certain data types as criteria
for adding an existing entity to the candidate list as part of the entity
resolution process.
Deleting candidate builder configurations
You can delete a candidate builder configuration using the Configuration
Console. You might want to delete a candidate builder configuration you created
that you decide you do not want to use.
