  User setup impacting the <b>Manual Matches</b> selection:
  <ul>
    <li>Matching Distance Thresholds</li>
    <li>Matching Distance Weights</li>
    <li>Automatic Matching Threshold</li>
    <li>Number of Potential Matches</li>

**Manual Matches**  are identified as matches where their keys' distances fell below user-defined thresholds, yet their matching scores were lower than the set Automatic Matching score.

These matches were subsequently handpicked and selected within the Manual matching application.

**Webapp behavior by reconciliation type: **
-  **1-to-1** : If match is approved manually in the webapp, other potential matches for the same primary or secondary observation are automatically set as rejected.
-  **1-to-many** : If match is approved manually in the webapp, other potential matches for the same primary observation are NOT automatically set as rejected. If an observation from the secondary dataset is set as a match, then if the same observation is present somewhere else is the webapp, it is set as rejected.
