The Ops Portal Matcher Mapper Step is used to look up results from a buffer containing an embedding vector and automatically matches the results to a valid Ops Portal structure, e.g. Dedup.

Embeddings convert real-world objects into complex, mathematical representations that capture integral properties and relationships between real-world data.

The image below illustrates a flow where the Ops Portal Matcher Mapper Step is used.

The image below shows the Buffer Source step.

To add an Ops Portal Matcher Mapper step in a flow, follow the below instructions:

1. Click on the highlighted icon as shown in the below image.

2. The below page will appear. Select or search for a step to pull out the source data. Click on the Mapper tab and select Ops Portal Matcher as shown in the image below.

A Search index is required for the Ops Portal Matcher Mapper step to work. This is done by editing the buffer. To add a search index, follow these instructions:

1. Open the Buffer and click on the edit icon.

2. Click on the Search Indexes tab.

3. Click on the New Search Index

4. Provide an Index name (1). This must match the Index Name in the Ops Portal Matcher Mapper configuration.

5. Click on the Vector Search Index Template button (2).

6. The index will automatically be mapped out (3).

7. Click on the Create Search Index button (4).

Illustrated in the below image is the configuration that is available in the Ops Portal Matcher Mapper step.

Compare Buffer ID – ID of the buffer to compare the record against. Click on the dropdown arrow to select a buffer.

Compare Buffer Embedding Path – Path to the stored embedding on the buffer being compared against.

Index Name – Name of the search index that supports vector search on the buffer. This should match the name of the search index in the buffer.

Record Embedding Path – Path to the embedding array on the record.

Number of Candidates – Number of nearest neighbor candidates to select from when searching.

Limit – Number to limit the search results to.

To use a Ops Portal Matcher Mapper step, follow the instructions below:

1. Click the Execute Flow button shown in the image below:

2. Click the Create Run button.

The image below shows the results stored in the Buffer destination step.

All the data from the Ops Portal Matcher is shown under “matchRecords” as shown in the above image. There is a “_score” section that shows the accuracy of the match. It is a value ranging from 0 to 1 and represents a percentage.

In this case, a score of 1 represents 100% accuracy as highlighted in yellow. A score of 99% accuracy is highlighted in green.

The Ops Portal Matcher Mapper Step will build an Ops View based on the result.
