Master Index Production Reports (Repository)

The standard production reports help you to monitor and analyze the data in the master index database. You can view information about the transactions processed and about any potential duplicates or assumed matches that result from these transactions.

Each report has certain fields that are always displayed and certain fields that are configured to display. You can customize the configured fields that appear on each report as needed. By default, eView CompanyReport.xml configures all reports to include the company name, type, stock symbol, primary contact, street address, city, and telephone number fields. eIndexPersonReport.xml configures all reports to include the first name, last name, date of birth, SSN, and address line 1 and 2 fields. The fields that are always displayed are described for each report in the following sections.

Production reports can be run for the current day, the previous day, or for a date range you specify. If you run your daily reports in the evening, you should run the current day’s reports. If you run your daily reports in the morning, you should run the previous day’s reports.

Assumed Match Report

This report displays information about any records that were automatically updated by incoming data during the specified time period. The information in this report, in combination with data from the potential duplicate report, helps you determine whether the matching threshold for assumed matches is accurate. You should review this report daily to ensure that no assumed matches were made in error. The master index application provides the ability to undo an assumed match that was made in error.

The assumed match report always includes the following information about the record that was updated: enterprise-wide unique identifier (EUID), system code, local ID, and matching weight. The report provides the same information for the incoming message that updated the existing record with the exception of the EUID. You can configure the report to include any additional fields from the defined object structure in the Object Definition file in the master index project.

Deactivated Record Report

This report displays a list of all enterprise records that were deactivated during the specified time period. This report does not include system records that were deactivated. Review this report daily to ensure that no records were deactivated in error. The master index application provides the ability to reactivate any deactivated record. The deactivated record report always includes the EUID of the deactivated record, and you can configure the report to include any additional fields from the defined object structure in the Object Definition file in the master index project.

Potential Duplicate Report

This report displays information about records that were marked as potential duplicates of one another during the specified time period. The information provided on this report can help you determine whether the matching (or upper) threshold and the duplicate threshold are configured accurately. The information for each record on the potential duplicate report always includes the EUIDs of both records, the system code, and the matching weight between each potential duplicate pair. You can configure the report to include any additional fields from the defined object structure in the Object Definition file in the master index project.

If same system matching is not enabled and two duplicate records from the same system on this report have a matching weight above the match threshold, it is an indication that the records most likely represent the same person. Review the potential duplicate report daily to determine if two records need to be merged or if they can be resolved. Use this report as a work list when working with potential duplicates.

Merge Transaction Report

This report displays a list of all enterprise records that were merged during the specified time period. Review this report daily to ensure that no records were merged in error. The master index application provides the ability to unmerge any merged records. The merge transaction report always includes the EUID of each record affected by the merge. You can also configure the report to include any additional fields from the defined object structure in the Object Definition file in the master index project.

UnMerge Transaction Report

This report displays a list of all enterprise records that were unmerged during the specified time period. This report always includes the EUIDs of both records involved in the unmerge transaction, and you can configure the report to include any additional fields from the defined object structure in the Object Definition file in the master index project.

Update Report

This report displays records whose information was updated during the specified time period. Review this report daily to verify the updates made in a given day. This report can help explain why a resolved potential duplicate listing was reinstated to the potential duplicate list. The update report always includes the following information about the record that was updated: EUID, system code, and local ID. You can configure the report to include any additional fields from the defined object structure in the Object Definition file in the master index project. The updated fields might not necessarily appear on this report.
