Don't Generate List Input for Fuzzy Match

[GavinAttard]

Hi Folks

So have been using the fuzzy match function quite a bit of recently. Love the tool, however it could benefit form being able to wire in a list of 'Don't generate' keywords. 

At the moment we can enter them manually, however where for example i might want to exclude city or area names etc... from the do not generate list this becomes quite a tedious manual entry task, so being able to load in keyword data from pre-existing lists etc.. would be a time saver. 

Cheers

Having the availability to have this come from a "list file" would be great, but as an FYI, the lists that are in the "Don't Generate Keys for the follow words" comes from within an XML file that you can manually add to.

In the default installation it is in "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\FuzzyMatch\FuzzyMatchStyles.xml".

You can add a list in element <IgnoreWords> and is a bit easier than typing in the tool interface directly.

Hope this helps.
