Matching configurations
A matching configuration contains fundamental settings and parameters for the matching algorithm of a product and is also used to define the product area. A product must have at least one matching configuration, but it can have several—for example, different configurations for daytime, night-time, or weekend operations, selected when defining a vehicle planning.
For what a matching configuration is and what each setting, parameter, and solver weight does—including defaults, ranges, and examples—see Matching configurations in Platform. This page covers how to manage them in Control Center.
View matching configurations
From the product overview in Control Center, select Matching configurations in the left sidebar. In this view, matching configurations are listed in a table containing the following information.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | Matching configuration identifier |
| Name | Matching configuration name |
| Slug | Matching configuration slug |
| Description | Matching configuration description |
| Updated at | Last update timestamp |
