match has a default name format which tells it where to expect the last name. The options are:
Left—last name is at the start of the full name, for example Smith Jim
Right—last name is at the end of the full name, for example, Jim Smith
The name format that the
Informatica MDM Hub
uses depends on the purpose that you use. If you use Organization, the default is Last name, First name, Middle name. If you use Person or Resident, the default is First Middle Last.
When you format data for matching, remember that the name format that the
Informatica MDM Hub
uses depends on the purpose that you use. In special cases, particularly for names that are not in the selected population, the name format and the match purpose that you select makes a difference.
