Definition

With the delimiter you can define characters and/or numbers that are to be used as separators in the phonetic search in the the SPL screening.

Example

The following town could be written in different ways:
1) Hampton-Villa (new name of town)
2) Hampton (pld name of town which is still used)

If the old name still existed in the customer address but the new name is used in the sanctioned party list, the algorithm in the SPL screening would not recognize any clear matches.

However, if you define a hyphen (-) as a separator in the delimiter, the algorithm splits the new name of the town into two words, Hampton and Villa, and recognizes a match immediately.
