You can use the preferred-record-review option with the Best and Merge clustering methods. If the status of any cluster is undecided or manual, the preferred-record-review option flags those clusters. Use Informatica Data Director to manually review the preferred record of each flagged cluster. You can accept the suggested preferred record or create a different preferred record. You can use this option in conjunction with the pre-merge-review, post-merge-review, or best-undecided-review option.

For example, you have a record that has Jonathan as the name in cluster 1. Add a record with Jonathan Richards as the name to the source table.

During synchronization, the record of Jonathan Richards matches the record of Jonathan and the records have an accepted score between them. The Merge method adds the record of Jonathan Richards to cluster 1. The status of cluster 1 becomes undecided because the merge rules do not return a result for at least one field. The preferred-record-review option flags cluster 1. Use Informatica Data Director to manually review the details of cluster 1.
