Configuring master data workflows for IBM Match 360

You can configure and manage task workflows that enable data stewards to complete data quality remediation for tasks related to master data management, such as potential match issues and potential overlay issues.

IBM Match 360 supports different types of task workflows to help data stewards to identify and remediate data quality issues within your master data:

  • Potential match workflows identify potential match issues and create tasks for data stewards to resolve them by making match or no-match decisions.
  • Potential overlay workflows recognize and quarantine any potential breaking data changes before they impact your entities, and create tasks for data stewards to review and resolve issues.

You can optionally set up a workflow configuration at the time when you intially configure your IBM Match 360 service instance. For information about completing the initial setup, see Creating a master data configuration asset for IBM Match 360.

If you do not configure a workflow during intial setup, you can configure it later from the instance settings or task types pages. For more information, see Configuring a potential matches workflow or Configurating a potential overlay workflow.

After a workflow task type is configured, you can review it in the instance settings, but you cannot modify it. You cannot reuse an existing workflow configuration.
