Match Levels

For fuzzy-match base objects, the

match level

determines how precise the match is. You can specify one of the following match levels for a fuzzy-match base object:

Match Levels
Level	Description
Typical	Appropriate for most matches.
Conservative	Produces fewer matches than the Typical level. Some data that actually matches may pass through the match process without being flagged as a match. This situation is called undermatching .
Loose	Produces more matches than the Typical level. Loose matching may produce a significant number of match candidates that are not really matches. This situation is called overmatching . You might choose to use this in a match rule for manual merges, to make sure that other, tighter match rules have not missed any potential matches.

Select the level based on your knowledge of the data to be matched: Typical, Conservative (fewer matches), or Looser (more matches). When in doubt, use Typical.
