50 - 100 |

If the score produced by the comparison of the account and D&B records is greater than the entered value (must be between 50 and 100), then the record will be identified as duplicate and a pop-up window will be displayed to the user, allowing the user to choose the action to take. The lower the match threshold, the more match candidates will be displayed. |

If the score produced by the comparison of the account and D&B records is greater than the entered Value (must be between 0 and 100), then the D&B records are made D&B candidates of the account record. The account record is updated with the D&B record with the greatest score. |
