IM Relationship Resolution Information Center, Version 4.2

Setting minimum threshold score values for search entities

When you look for an entity using either the Find By Resolution feature or an attribute alert generator in the Visualizer, you select a minimum score threshold as part of the criteria: Is Entity, Close Entity Match, Good Relationship, and Any Relationship. Your choice determines the strength of entity and relationship resolution the system uses to find and return search entities. While IBM Relationship Resolution comes with default values for each minimum score threshold, you can change the values for one or more of these thresholds on the Visualizer's System Preferences tab.

Procedure:
  1. In the Visualizer from the File menu, select Preferences.
  2. Click the System Preferences tab.
  3. In the Minimum Score Values section, specify the lowest likeness score that you want to use to determine which search results are displayed. The higher the number, the fewer results are returned in a search.
  4. Click the Submit button. A confirmation message opens indicating that you must restart the Visualizer for your changes to take effect.
  5. In the confirmation message, click the OK button.
  6. Close the Visualizer.
  7. Start the Visualizer.
