Note Note: The results listed above reflect the default match sensitivity (85).

The Organization (v27) match definition is a temporary definition provided to facilitate an upgrade of the Organization definition. The Organization match definition will be changing in the following ways:

  • The Organization definition accepts parsed input, but will not accept parsed input in a future release. Organization (v27) does not accept parsed input, which will also be true of Organization in the future. The removal of input tokens will require you to update any jobs using the Match Codes (Parsed) node for the Organization definition, replacing the Match Codes (Parsed) node with the Match Codes node and providing input as a single field. Jobs using the Match Codes node will not require an update.
  • In a future release, the match code length will be changed. This change might require you to update any jobs using the Organization definition so that the match code fields can handle the new length. The Organization (v27) definition uses the match code length that will be used by Organization in the future.

If you want to begin using the updated processing now rather than waiting for a later release, you can update your jobs to call the Organization (v27) definition. Be aware however that the Organization (v27) definition is deprecated and will be removed in a subsequent release when the Organization definition is updated.
