Finding Matching Entities
6. Click OK to close the Setup Smart Matching dialog.
7. Click Find to run the search. The matching entities are displayed:
The Matched Sets area shows that four pairs of matched entities have been
found. Notice that even though the identities of each of the entities are different
they both contain the same digits but in slightly different formats: account
number 0942-5473 (Account Type = Checking) contains the same digits as
account number 09425473 (Account Type = Business). Each matched pair has
been scored as 9, which means that it is very likely that these entities are the
same real world object, and can be merged into a single entity.
8. In the Matched Sets area, click the Select All button. This selects all of the
matched entities in the Matched Sets area.
9. To merge each pair of matched entities into one entity, in the Matched Sets
area, click Merge.
10. Close the Find Matching Entities dialog.
11. To see all of the chart on your screen, from the View menu, click Fit Chart In
Window.
12. You can now see that each pair of matched entities has been merged into
single entities. Tidy up your chart by removing any crossed links or items that
are obscuring other items on the chart.
