Use the preferences to set match criteria and restrictions so that the matching can be as strict or relaxed as you need. The following sections cover the matching global defaults options which are available for all countries. For country-specific preferences see Custom Preferences and Fields which apply to a subset of countries.
For instructions on setting global default values in Management Console, see Setting Global Defaults in Management Console.
For instructions on setting global default values in Enterprise Designer, see Setting Global Defaults in Enterprise Designer.
In Management Console, you can add overrides to global defaults for matching on a country-specific basis. Once the overrides are set and enabled, they apply to all data flows that use the Global Geocoding stage. This functionality is not supported in Enterprise Designer. For more information see Setting Country Overrides.
Matching Preferences
Preference | Description |
---|---|
Match Mode | Match modes determine the leniency used to make a
match between the input address and the reference data. Select a
match mode based on the quality of your input and your desired
output. The following match modes are available:

The USA has the following additional match modes. These are
available as options even when the global defaults option is set to
one of the match modes listed above.
|
|
Custom Mode Must Match Fields | These options set the match criteria for determining match
candidates. To enable these options, you must set the
Match Mode to
Custom. By default, these options are
disabled. Note: For USA, the Custom Mode Must Match fields are
not supported in single-line processing.
In Management Console, you can create country-specific overrides for these options only for those countries that have Match Mode overrides that are set to Custom.
