Screening options	Description
Screening Profile	This drop-down allows you to quickly change screening settings for a given group of parties. Screening profile details can be viewed on the DPS Settings screen. Adjusted settings will not update the Screening Profile drop-down.
Match percentage	Increase/decrease screening sensitivity based on the desired accuracy of result sets. A higher match percentage decreases the number of overall hits but increases the risk of missing a potential match. A lower match percentage returns more results but will include more false positives. Returned results will meet or exceed the percentage match threshold. Example: Setting Match percentage at 90% will return exact (100%) and near (90% and above) matches.
Name and address match	Name and address : Only returns search results if there is a match on the search name and 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. Name or address : Returns search results 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 .
