Procedure

In the New Match Rule wizard, enter a name for your Match
Rule and any other relevant metadata, and then click
Finish.
The Match Rule Editor opens in the workspace.

In the Match and Survivor section, you can add a single
rule or multiple rules.
To create a match rule with multiple rules, click the
button in the upper right corner to add one new rule
each time. When a match rule has multiple rules, an OR match operation is conducted for them during the integrated matching process for each record to be matched. Data records are evaluated against the first rule and the records that match are not evaluated against the second rule and so on.If needed, click the
button to edit the names of those rules added within a
match rule, and/or sort the rule order to determine which rule will be executed
first.

deployed along with the Data Model to which they are attached.
