Select the Match Output Type

Use the options on the Match Output view to define the output format for the results of the match analysis

The following image shows the Match Output view for single-source identity analysis:

The Match Output view provides different output options, including options to organize the output records into clusters or matched pairs. The current transformation generates record clusters. You can also select options that determine how the Match transformation generates comparison data for the identity index data store.

You configure the transformation to organize the output records in clusters. Each cluster contains all the records that match at least one other record, based on the match properties that you specify. The match properties determine how the transformation compares the data source records to the index records.

The following table describes the match property options that you specify to analyze the staff record data:

Match Property	Option	Option Description
Match	Partial	The transformation compares the data source records with the index data store. The transformation also compares the records within the data source with each other.
Output	New and Associated Rows	The transformation writes every cluster that contains at least one record from the data source. The clusters can include records from the index data store. Because a cluster can contain a single record, the output contains all records in the data source.
