Until the next time, happy matching!
A couple of people have noticed that on occasion when they apply the Automatic Approvals for matches above a certain score, a few of the potential matches don’t get approved, and remain categorised as “Not set”. This behaviour only applies to Best Match projects, and is actually quite rare.
This happens because a match has already been approved for your Source List using different criteria, but the approved match is not shown because it is outside of the current matching criteria that you have selected.
I hope this helps, as always your comments are welcome.
We have been asked on several occasions why you need to specify which country a list pertains to and why can’t we just have an international setting.
The simple answer is accuracy, but let’s not leave it at that. I’d like to share with you some of the nuances that we see on a regular basis, to help you understand a little of the work that has gone on behind the scenes to ensure you get the best matching results possible.
In the coming months I will look to discuss country specific nuances in deeper detail and share the learnings and experiences that we have had matching data for large multi-national organisations across the globe. I’ll also show some of the approaches we have taken to tackle these issues at Match2Lists.
Needless to say, it’s not a case of one logic rule works for all. Different elements of an address need to be processed and interpreted in different ways, and country nuances can and do have significant impact on these rules. Specifying which country your list is related to helps Match2Lists use the most appropriate rules and logic to achieve the best matching results for you.
Several people have asked on occasion if it was possible to increase the width of the Match Results, so one of the amendments we have made to the visualizer is the addition of sizing options for validating your match results.
Using these buttons you can increase the size of the windows displaying the match results making it easier to read longer company names and addresses. A useful feature when looking for the best possible match.
You can also switch back to the smaller option to view more of the potential matches side by side without scrolling – this is particularly helpful when you’re de-duping a list or looking for multiple matches.
Today we launched an updated version of our acclaimed Match Visualizer which includes new functionality to continue our quest to speed up the process of manual verification of Match Results.
The new changes include a filter option alongside the Match Weightings that enable you to filter out less likely match results and chunk up the approvals to an even greater degree than ever before.
The Automatic approval process works in conjunction with these new filters, which enables you to verify and automatically approve even more matches and once again radically cut down the time required for complex data matching like never before.
We will be adding a new video soon to show how you can make the most effective use of this new feature.

It was great to see the news hitting the wires today:
Just wanted to add that we are very pleased we chose Kognitio and Wx2 for our backend system architecture.
I’d just like to say a huge welcome to the new customers registering with Match2Lists.
We’re very excited — only went live late last night, it’s awesome that people are finding us already.
Please feel free to contact us any time if you have any questions.
We are working hard to provide some more detailed tutorials which should be on their way shortly.
And not forgetting a massive thank you to the team, I appreciate that you guys have been busting your guts for a while now, but the end result is exceptional, really well done.
