The forced link and unlink feature helps users to identify a set of records as being the same or different entity. Link rules allow users to identify a set of records as the same entity. Unlink rules allow users to identify a set of records as separate entities.
The link and unlink rules can be supplied during the design of an MDM-RE system. The application of these rules are controlled by the Persistent-ID options. For more details, see the
PERSISTENT-ID-OPTIONS
section under the Multi-search definition in the MDM-RE Design guide.
