Understand Manual Updates to a Master Record

In the

Cross-reference Records

view, the highlighted cells indicate the values with the highest trust score. You can manually update a value, regardless of the trust score for the field. When you manually update a value in the master record, the Master Record column shows the changed value. The cell highlight continues to identify the value with the highest trust score.

For example, consider a gender code field with the possible values: UNKNOWN, MALE, and FEMALE. In the following image, the gender code in the Master Record column is UNKNOWN, but the most trusted value is MALE:

The value in the master record is UNKNOWN.

The most trusted value (80%) is MALE.

The value in the Master Record column is the updated value of UNKNOWN. In the Admin column, the value UNKNOWN has a trust score of 45, because a validation rule downgrades the trust score whenever the value of the Gender Cd field is UNKNOWN.

Another way to update a value in the master record is to call the Put API with the

TrustOverrideField

parameter. After the update, the Put process recalculates the best version of the truth for all fields except the field with the trust override.
