Before you configure match models, create candidate selection criteria for a business entity so that you can associate them with match models. You can create candidate selection criteria separately and reuse them across match models.
You can create a maximum of 10 candidate selection criteria for each business entity. When you create a candidate selection criteria, you can specify the default population based on which the candidates are selected.
After you create a candidate selection criteria, it remains active and ready to be associated with match models. A candidate selection criteria becomes inactive only when you disable it. However, you can't disable or delete a candidate selection criteria that's associated with match models until you remove it from the models or delete the models. After you create candidate selection criteria, they appear on the Candidate Selection Criteria page.
The following table describes the properties of the candidate selection criteria that you can view on the Candidate Selection Criteria page:
