Identity Match Strategy Properties

Configure the properties for each identity strategy.

When you configure an identity strategy, you can configure the following strategy properties:

Population: Determines the population to apply to identity analysis. Populations contain key-building algorithms for specific locales and languages.
Match level: Determines the balance of search quality and search speed. The search speed is inversely related to the number of matches returned. Searches that use the
Loose
setting return fewer matches, while searches that use the
Conservative
setting return more matches.
