Overview
Manual Overrides allow you to manually reassign identity records between match groups, overriding the automated matching engine's decisions. This is essential when the matching algorithm produces incorrect groupings that a human reviewer can identify and correct.
Within the broader RIS workflow, Manual Overrides sit at the tail end of the pipeline:
-
Production: the current live match groupings
-
Experiment: a proposed set of groupings from a new match configuration
-
Review: side-by-side comparison of production vs. experiment groupings
-
Override: manual reassignment of records that neither grouping got right
Manual Overrides can be used in three modes:
-
Standalone: ad-hoc search and regroup
-
From production review: override the current item during result browse
-
From experiment review: override a specific review item during A/B review
