Matches found comparisons

A matches found comparison evaluates data to determine the ratio of objects between two data sets. Use a matches found comparison to determine how instances of an object in Data Set 1 correspond to instances in Data Set 2. For example, you might want to look for an instance of a specific operating system on notebook computers at your Boston site for each instance of a notebook in your Assets records for that site.

You use the Matches Found subtab on the Comparison Rule tab in the application to create matches found clauses, to view or modify existing clauses, and to delete clauses. Each clause specifies the acceptable ratio of Data Set 1 object instances to Data Set 2 object instances in the comparison after the system applies the data set filter or filters.

A matches found comparison rule requires a Data Set 1 filter or a Data Set 2 filter, or both.

To use matches found comparisons effectively, review the documentation that describes components of matches found clauses and the operators that specify the ratio of objects to look for in the comparison.
