Attribute Alert report

Use the Attribute Alert report to manage individual attribute alerts. By viewing this report, you see a listing of all entities that matched the attribute alert generator criteria, as well as the status and most recent activity on the alert.

The report is sorted by Search Entity ID in ascending order. If there is more than one matched entity per search entity, then the matched entities are sorted by ascending entity ID order.

Search Entity
Displays the Entity ID created by the attribute alert search.
Matched Entity
Displays the ID and name of the entity that matched the Search Entity, based on the attribute alert generator criteria. If an attribute alert has more than one Matched Entities, they display in alphanumeric order by Entity ID. For example, Entity ID 37 displays before Entity ID 1003.
Attribute alert information
This section of the report displays general information about the alert results.
Attribute alert status
Displays the most current status of this attribute alert.
Search result date and time
Displays the date and time that the attribute alert was created.
Attribute search status
Displays the most current status of the attribute alert generator that generated this attribute alert.
Minimum resolution score
Displays the minimum resolution score and description of the Minimum Score selected as part of the attribute alert generator criteria. This score threshold indicates how closely the attributes must match to generate an attribute alert.
Attribute Alert status information
In this section of the report, you see the history of each status on this alert. The status information displays in update order, so the last status update displays first.
Date and Time of Status
Displays the date and time the attribute alert update occurred.
User
Displays the name of the user who updated the alert.
Activity Code
Displays the user-defined code that indicates the action taken by a user on this attribute alert. When users update alerts, they select an activity code. Some examples of activity codes include Open, Assigned, Hold, and Closed. Activity codes are configured in the Configuration Console.
Status
Displays the disposition status for this alert update, modified on status date and time. Disposition statuses display in update order, so the last status update is listed last.
Comment
Displays comments entered by the user making the update to this alert.
Matched information
This section shows which attributes by data type and value matched between the Search Entity and the Matched Entity.
Data Type
Displays the name of the attribute that matched between the Search Entity to the Matched Entity. The two values of this matched attribute display in both the Match Value and Search Criteria columns.
Search Criteria
Displays the data value belonging to the Search Entity that matched the corresponding value shown in the Matched Entity column.
Match Value
Displays the actual data value belonging to the Matched Entity, which matches the same data type and data value for the Search Entity.
Precision Description
Displays the text that describes the level of precision that the Search Criteria and Match Value matched at. Precision levels are configured during entity resolution configuration, by attribute.
Precision/Max Precision
The first number is the system-generated precision score, which indicates how closely the value in Search Criteria matched the value in Match Value. The second number is the maximum precision score attainable.
By comparing the two numbers, you can determine more about the closeness of the match between the Search Entity and the Matched Entity. You might also use these scores to determine if the attribute alert search criteria needs adjusting.
Score Adjustment
Displays the number associated with this attribute that is used adjust the resolution score up or down during entity resolution. This number is configured as part of the overall entity resolution configuration.
