match code

[Shakti_Sourav]

Dear Team,

Please suggest, what is Name / Name With Combinations / Name with Extensions ? 

If there is a Name column having First Name, Middle Name and also Sur name then which one should take ? 

I have attached one screenshot for your reference.

Hi,

These 3 definitions exist in the English (India) locale for the current version of the QKB.

They are documented here:

Name definition is the most basic. I wouldn't use it for long strings that have more tokens than just a first and family names.

Name with Extensions can handle much longer input strings, with Extensions, Middle Names, etc. This is the one I would use for what you describe.

The Name with Combinations is a different type of Matching definition: Combination-based match definitions create multiple match codes for a single input string by manipulating the tokens of the input string with token combination rules.

See more information here:

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Audrey
