Services / Rules

For each field value passed to Normalator a set of rules is executed and a resultant Category is returned. For example:

Job Title = Chief Executive Officer

Normalising using the “Job Level” Service would return:

Job Level = C-Level

The results of the normalisation are based on the Rules you create:

Rule	Category	Expression
CEO	C-Level	CEO|Chief Executive|C.E.O.

In this example, normalator is comparing the expression CEO|Chief Executive|C.E.O. to the Job Title. Because the Job Title contains the words “Chief Executive” the Category returned = C-Level.

Multiple Matches

For example: Job Title = Chief Executive Officer and Financial Controller

If there are multiple rules that result in a match:

Rule	Category	Expression
CEO	C-Level	CEO|Chief Executive|C.E.O.
Manager	Manager	Manager|Management|Mgr|Controller

For this example, the order you have saved your categories in becomes important. C-Level is saved higher than Manager in the Job Level Category list therefore “C-Level” will be returned as the category.
