Run Stitch¶
Stitch uses patented algorithms to evaluate massive volumes of data to discover the hidden connections in your customer records that identify unique individuals. Stitch outputs a unified collection of data that assigns a unique identifier to each unique individual that is discovered within your customer records.
Add tables to Stitch run¶
Stitch only runs against selected domain tables. A domain table is made available to Stitch by the Make available to Stitch configuration setting in the Feed Editor.
A domain table that is made available to Stitch must also be selected from the list of domain tables in the Stitch settings dialog box.
Each selected table is processed and compared for identity resolution, after which Amperity IDs are assigned to each of your unique customers that are discovered across all domain tables that are included in the Stitch run.
Note
Only tables with the Make available to Stitch setting enabled in the Feed Editor will be available in the Stitch Settings dialog box.
To add tables to the Stitch run
From the Stitch tab, click Settings. This opens the Stitch settings dialog box. On the Stitched tables tab, select each of the tables to include in Stitch results, and then click Save.
After you have selected the list of tables to include in Stitch results, return to the Stitch page, and then click Run.
Run Stitch¶
A Stitch run can be started manually by clicking the Run button at the top of the Stitch tab. A Stitch run may be started automatically by an upstream process, such as after successful domain table updates that were initiated by courier group automation.

Configure Stitch¶
A list of Stitch configuration settings is available from the Stitch tab. These settings should not be changed until after your first Stitch run and the Stitch QA process has started.
It is not uncommon to make some configuration changes after analyzing how Amperity has processed your data. Common configuration changes include adjusting how Amperity handles certain types of semantic tags, changing the blocking strategy, adjusting the thresholds for match categories, updating the maximum number of allowed trivial duplicates.
In rare cases, adjustments may be made to how Amperity applies the results of blocking or to the clustering algorithm.
