When you open the Relationship Linker Results Analyzer, the results from the current Relationship Linker output file are displayed in the window in a table format. Each column is titled with either a field from one of the comparison list files or a match key field from the schema file. The default data is for Matched records at Consumer Level 1. You have to switch tabs and/or use the radio buttons and exclamation mark to view different results.

- The column header in red bold is the match key for the selected tab while the column headers in blue italics are other fields that are populated by the Relationship Linker (window key, match keys and match patterns). For example, if you’re viewing the individual matched results then the blue italic fields are window_key_01, lev2_matched_pattern and lev1_matched with the red bold field being lev2_matched_in_lev1_matched.
- Linked records are grouped together by color, alternating between blue or white. If the first matched set is in white, the second one will be in blue, the third in white, and so on. If a record is by itself, not above or below another record of the same color, then that record did not match to any other record.
- Records will be matched based on a specific key, depending on what tab is currently selected. For example, if you are under the Business_Lev1 tab, looking at Business_Lev1 matches, then matches will be displayed based on the match key, Lev1_Matched field.
