Data Management contains
a separate user interface application, called Data Stewardship,
that is used for maintaining data quality within the core application.
Restriction: The Data Stewardship web application does
not support the use of your browser's Back button.
Data Stewardship contains
various functions for anyone in a data steward role to maintain and
manage data:
- Party maintenance: Add, search for, view, and edit a party. A
party can be a person or an organization.
- Suspected duplicate parties: Search for possible duplicate parties
based on user-defined parameters and process the duplicates:
- View the list of parties and all suspected duplicates for those
parties. The list also indicates whether the system matching rules
detected one or more best matches, which are match scores that are
above a defined threshold.
- Compare the suspected duplicates to determine if they are the
same party.
- Mark and unmark suspected duplicates by manually marking two parties
as suspected duplicates, or removing the suspected duplicate marking
from two parties.
- Collapse or merge two or more parties into one new party. The
previous parties are inactivated and the new party, incorporating
data from the old parties, is created from the other two.
- Manage tasks as a result of duplicate parties. You can search
for, assign, unassign, reassign, tasks.
- Hierarchical data: Create and maintain party hierarchy information
to manage and show the hierarchical structure between related parties
and roles.
- Group parties: Search for and work with party groupings to manage
how parties are viewed collectively.
