Prioritize an entity discovery source at the field level

Sometimes a low-priority source might have a high-priority field. You can use source field prioritization to overwrite high-priority sources when a low-priority source has a particularly accurate field. For example, a source might not have accurate data other than an IP address, which might have near real-time accuracy.

To prioritize a source at the field level, complete the following steps:

  1. Select Configure then All configurations.
  2. In the Exposure analytics section, select Configuration settings and then Default configurations.

  3. Turn on Edit field priorities.

  4. Then, go to the Entity discovery sources page.

  5. Select the edit icon next to the source you want to set a priority for.
  6. Select the type of processing you want to apply the field prioritization to.
  7. Using the drop-down list, select the field name that you want to prioritize.
  8. Set the priority for the selected field name.
  9. Select Add.
  10. Select Save.
