How to add more nicknames into fuzzy match tool?

Hello,

I use a fuzzy match tool and would like to add more nicknames into the tool.  Does anyone know how to do that?

Sincerely,

Kazumi

@skharel,

Try adding your nicknames to the nickname table provided. You may need to use Alteryx to update.

Use Help/About to check the version of Designer (admin vs non-admin) you are running.

If you are running the Admin version, the new nickname files should be placed into the: C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\FuzzyMatch\Nicknames directory. For the Non-Admin version, it should be placed in the  C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\FuzzyMatch\Nicknames directory.

If you have inadvertently installed both the administrative and non-admin version of Designer you are most likely running the other version of Designer and it is not looking in the directory you placed the fine in.
