Internal Testing Facilities|Interactively Testing Matching Functions

As well as providing an automated test facility to test matching functions, there is also a screen where you can supply two data values and discover whether each of the main matching functions will decide that they match or not.

By default, two values from the first row of the previewed data table will be used to populate the initial values, but this can be changed as required.

Simply enter the values to be match and click the 'Trial Matching Functions' button and the screen will update to show whether or not each of the available matching functions matched the values or not.

The matching functions can be changed if required, for example to amend the default arguments they are initially supplied with.

At present only simple and composite match functions can be used on this screen. Match Aliases cannot be used at present.
