Use the general tab view of Resolution Characterics to configure actions and options for large data types and custom scoring plugins.
If you are configuring a character type that has a Resolution Usage field and select with a "Confirm/Deny" value, additional fields will dynamically appear.
Field | Required | Field selections and descriptions |
Group | Yes | Type the number of the group you want to use to identify this characteristic. |
Description | Yes | Enter a short description of this default resolution configuration. Leaving this field blank can cause an error. |
Characteristic Type | Yes | Select the Type you are working on. The list will include all of the types you have configured for Sources. |
Confirm Weight | Yes | Any value 0-100. Affects the likeness score. |
Plugin Confirm Threshold | No | Free-form text field. This field is displayed when a Characteristic Type is specified whose Resolution Usage field is set to “Confirm/Deny," such as when the type is for a custom plugin. If the Characteristic Type is scored by a scoring plugin during the confirmation and denial part of the entity resolution process, then specify a confirmation threshold value. When the score assigned by the plugin is equal to or above this value, the match is considered a confirmation, which causes the Confirm Weight field value to be added to the Resolution Confidence score. |
Denial Weight | Yes | Any value 0-100. Affects the likeness score. |
Plugin Denial Threshold | No | Free-form text field. This field is only displayed when a Characteristic Type is specified whose Resolution Usage field is set to “Confirm/Deny," such as when the type is for a custom plugin. If the Characteristic Type is scored by a scoring plugin during the confirmation and denial part of the entity resolution process, then specify a denial threshold value here (to be interpreted by the plugin). When the score assigned by the plugin is equal to or below this value, the match is considered a denial, which causes the Denial Weight field value to be added to the Resolution Confidence score. |
