The
DPS Settings
screen can be used to perform the following activities:

  • Customizing which types of results will be assigned a given score value
  • Managing Escalation settings
You can access this screen by selecting

Advanced Engine Settings

The
Advanced Engine Settings
tab is divided into two sections:
  • Default Search Options
  • Company Screening Options
These tabs are covered in more detail in the sections below.
Default Search Options
The
Default Search Options
settings help you manage search operators. In 21.3, some settings are added specific to the Advanced Search Engine.
Search Options
Description
Use Excluded Words
To exclude all words from the Excluded Words list in a search, click this checkbox. To disregard the
Excluded Words
list and search with all active words, clear this checkbox. For more information on how to add and edit excluded words, refer to the Excluded Words section of the help.
SEARCH NAME ADDRESS OPTION
  • This AND/OR operator configures the search parameters of the
    Search Name
    field in combination with address fields to determine how a search is screened.
  • AND
    : Returns a search result only if there is a match on the search name and on every provided address element. The Advanced Engine will Average the
    Name Match
    with the
    Address Match
    factoring in the weighing of each from
    Search Name Weight
    setting, to produce the final Score for each hit.
  • OR
    : Returns a search result if there is a match on the search name or every provided address element. The Advance Engine will find hits and display the Score for the higher of the
    Name Match
    or the
    Address Match
    .
ACTIVATE NEW LISTS
  • Y
    : New lists that have been added to your group subscription are automatically be included.
  • N
    : No changes are made to the list selections unless you check within the
    Lists Management
    tab.
Transfer to SCC/ISF
If you have been configured to integrate DPS companies with the same companies in ONESOURCE Supply Chain Compliance or ONESOURCE Importer Security Filing, the
Yes
button will be selected.
When using the engine:
Modifications made on this screen will automatically trigger a re-screening process for all previously marked as “Clear” entities. The following changes will prompt this process:
  • Adjustments made to the "Search Name Weight".
  • Changes to the "Search Name Address".
  • Reduction in the "Overall Match" score.
  • Activation of a specific list by the user.
You will receive a notification on your screen prompting you to confirm changes.
Besides that, if “Activate New List” is set to “Y”, you will receive a system message every time a new DPS list has been added to ONESOURCE Global Trade Content.
Company Screening Options
The
Company Screening Options
section allows you to disable unused company address fields during screenings. You can also use this section to adjust the percentage match necessary to return a hit.
Company Screening Options
Description
Company Address Fields
  • Selected
    : The company address field will be included as part of the screening process.
    Cleared
    : The field will be omitted from the screening. If data for the field exists when a company is loaded, it is displayed but is not included on the screening.
Search Name Weight
Utilized by the Advanced Screening Engine, this setting applies when the Search Name Address Option is
AND
and allows the customer to weight how the final hit score is calculated. For example, 50% Name 50% address will equally weight the Name Score with the Address Score for the final score.
Search Percentages
  • Search percentages allow you to increase or decrease the screening sensitivity for a given search field. Search percentages can be set separately for
    Name
    ,
    Address
    , and
    City
    . Returned results will meet or exceed the percentage match threshold you specify. Company address lines are combined during screening and use the search percentage for
    Address Line 1
    .
  • Higher percentage
    : Likely to result in fewer overall hits, but there is an increased risk of a missed potential match.
  • Lower percentage
    : Likely to result in more overall hits, but there is an increased risk of returning false positives.
