Enables you to configure applicant matching parameters that are used during the applicant approval process to determine whether an applicant already exists on the system.

Parameters

Surname, Forename, Date of Birth, Gender, NI Number

Enter a value between 1 and 20 in each of these fields to specify the weighting given to the particular matching parameter. A higher weighting should be given to a parameter if a match is likely to be the applicant required, whereas a lower weighting should be given to a parameter that is unlikely to be the applicant required. For example, matching a surname or a date of birth has a higher chance of being the applicant required, as it is a more distinct personal detail than name or gender.

Note: The Forename matching parameter matches on all aspects of a person’s name including their known as name.

Min Weighting

Enter a minimum total of accumulated matching weightings that is required to produce a match. When a match is found against a particular parameter, the weightings specified above are totalled. If the total is equal to, or greater than the value specified in the Min Weighting field, a match is produced.
