Resolution rules

Resolution rules are a set of criteria that the system uses to define how compared entities resolve (if they are or are not the same entity) and relate (if entities are not resolved to the same entity, how many attributes they share).

When defining resolution rules, you must specify thresholds that contribute to the total resolution score, which determines whether an incoming identity resolves into an existing entity:

You can also specify how conflicting values for the same attributes affect the resolution score. These conflicting values are called denials. You can configure resolution rules that specify that the rule is not met if there are any conflicts (denials) in the attribute values. You can also adjust the thresholds for a resolution rule to create automatic denials, based on the comparison scores not meeting one or more specified threshold scores. The higher a threshold score is set, the more exact the match must be in order to satisfy the resolution rule.
