Candidate Thresholds

Candidate thresholds are the first parts of a resolution rule used to determine if an incoming identity actually represents an existing entity or represents an entirely new entity.

Candidate thresholds are configured using the Configuration Console and are an integral part of a resolution rule. For example, if a resolution rule has a unique number candidate threshold, that resolution rule can be described as requiring a matching unique number.

Candidate thresholds are only applied to existing entities in order to place that entity on the candidate list as part of the entity resolution process. The actual threshold is the minimum level at which a particular data type must match between an incoming identity and an existing entity for the entity resolution process to add the existing entity to the candidate list.
