Download Options

The following options can be configured for this service at the download stage.

Suppression Type	Suppression Type Set this to configure what should happen when a match is made by this service: Append Flags adds an extra column to your output file which is populated when a match is made and blank otherwise. Suppress Records removes any matching records from your output file.
Match Level	Match Level Set this to indicate how closely names need to match for a record to be considered a match by this service. Surname allows two completely different forenames to match so long as they have a fuzzy match on the surname Initial requires a fuzzy match on both the surname and forename, allowing single initials to match. For example, "R Smith" would be allowed to match "Robert Smith", but "Richard Smith" and "Robert Smith" would not be considered a match. Forename requires a fuzzy match on both the surname and forename, and single initials are not allowed to match. Personal intelligently picks the highest match level available based on your data. If a record does not contain any forename information then a Surname match will be allowed, but if forename data is present then at least an Initial level match will be required.
