Configuring data sources for enhanced name hashing

If you use enhanced name hashing, you must configure each data source to permit name attribute candidate list building, by setting the candidate builder configuration to the Default w/ Name Only candidate builder.

About this task

The Default w/ Name Only candidate builder configuration includes the <NAME> segment data in the criterion, which means that the enhanced name hashes for each incoming name are considered when building the candidate list.

Additionally, as a best practice for enhanced name hashing, make sure that must each data source is configured to permit name analysis and scoring to use transliteration

Procedure

  1. In the Configuration Console, select Setup > Sources > Data Sources.
  2. Select the data source.
  3. On the General tab, make sure that the value of Transliterate is set to Yes.
  4. On the Entity Resolution tab, select the Default w/ Name Only value from the Candidate Builder Configuration list.
  5. Click Save.

What to do next

Repeat these steps for each data source.
