Normalization properties
On the normalization properties form, you can see and change the configurable properties for the Normalization Data Services plugin.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Reference qualifiers on all tables that reference the company will be updated to use the Normalized field. | If Yes, any reference field for the company – for any table across the platform – uses the Normalized name. This service only works if you have run the Update Reference Qualifiers task in the Guided Setup. |
| Enable a business rule that automatically normalizes manufacturer names for configuration items. | If Yes, the system normalizes company names when you add or update configuration items by a mechanism other than Discovery (such as by manual import sets). |
| Enable Discovery to use the normalization service for the manufacturer name. | To have Discovery use the normalized company name for the manufacturer name, select Yes. |
| This property is to enable or disable the Normalization process. | To enable the Normalization Data Service process, select Yes. To disable, select No. For details, see Normalization data services. |
| Normalize existing canonical core_company records. | Select Yes to update an existing normalized (canonical=true) Companies record to not-normalized (canonical=false) if a mapping is present. For details, see KB0957144. |
