Resolution characteristics and options

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.
