Add Match Guidance
POST /mpi/v1/addGuidance
Overrides automatic matching with manual guidance for a particular set of records. This should be used when it is known that two records represent the same or different individuals.
Note
Manual guidance will last until it is removed by the
Remove Match Guidance operation. The system will never use its matching rules to automatically unlink a manual match or link records that have been manually specified as “no match”.
