Configuring Name Manager thresholds for confirmations and denials

You can set the name score thresholds that Name Manager uses during entity resolution by resolution rule. After the candidate list is built, entity resolution compares the Name Manager name score, based on name part and the culture determined for each name part, to these thresholds. If the Name Manager score meets or exceeds the configured threshold score for the name part, the names are considered a match.

About this task

Important: By default, the Name Manager name part scoring thresholds are configured for optimum Name Manager scoring and performance. Changing the default values is an advanced configuration task, because these values can negatively affect entity resolution for rules that include name scoring. Before changing these default values, consult IBM Services or Support.

Procedure

  1. In the Configuration Console, select Setup > Resolution > Resolution Rules
  2. Select the resolution configuration from the Resolution Config list.
  3. Select the resolution rule.
  4. Click Confirm/Deny Thresholds.
  5. Under Name Manager, enter the minimum score for each name part threshold, based on a score from 0.0 to 1.0. The higher the score, the more exact the name parts must be to match. Typically, a score below 0.7 is not considered suitable to match name parts.
