16th December 2022 release

Some of the Encompass data products now have a feature called fast Forward logic associated with them.

This feature means that these data products have the results that are returned matched against the original search input using our match rules.

When a single result returned exceeds the designated threshold, where we used to require a user to confirm the match, we now use this score to automatically select the match and allow the policy to continue without the need for user input which increases the speed of policy completion overall. In this event, a new entry in the audit trail is created, indicating that a fast forward has occurred, and indicates the number of weak results which were ignored.

Conversely, when no results pass the minimum threshold for matching, MFF will fast forward with a result of ‘No match' (with similar messaging occuring in the audit trail).
