In the match editor, click the icon on top of the editor.
In the Match Rule Selector wizard,
select the match rule you want to import into the match analysis editor and
use on the analyzed data.
A warning message displays in the wizard if the match rule you want to
import is defined on columns that do not exist in the analyzed data. Ignore
the message as you can define input columns later in the match analysis
editor.
Select the Overwrite current Match Rule in the
analysis check box if you want to replace the rule in the editor
with the rule you import, otherwise, leave the box unselected.
Click OK.
The match rule is imported and the matching and blocking keys and /or
survivorship rules are listed in the Matching
Key and Blocking Key tables
respectively.
Click in the Input column and select from
the list the column on which you want to apply the imported blocking and
matching keys.
If you have in the analyzed data a column that match the input column in
the imported keys, it will be automatically defined in the Input column, you do not need to define it
yourself.
When you analyze data with multiple conditions, the match results will
list data records that meet any of the defined rules. When you execute the
match analysis, an OR match operation is conducted on data and data records
are evaluated against the first rule and the records that match are not
evaluated against the other rules.
