For basic instructions on how to use the Match Rules form, click here.

A set of match rules, or configuration, is comprised of:

• one or more primary keys, each of which may define
• one or more crosschecks that are run on matching records
• a list of preferences (to determine the 'preferred' record when more than one DB record matches)
• a list of crosscheck options (options that modify crosscheck behavior)
• a list of redirection rules ('redirect' records that match but fail certain crosschecks to a separate file)
• a list of synonyms (to improve crosscheck success by equivocating common strings and phrases)
