# MatchThreshold

Allows you to control how easily you can modify a user profile with text from new documents.

The `MatchThreshold` value determines the minimum percentage relevance that the input text or document must have to an existing agent in the specified profile. For documents that match with a relevance higher than `MatchThreshold`, IDOL Server updates the existing agent.

If none of the existing agents match with a high enough relevance, IDOL Server creates a new agent in the profile, using the terms and weights from the input text as training. If the configured NumberPerUser maximum number of agents has been reached, IDOL Server removes the agent that has the lowest relevance to the new input text.

A low value for `MatchThreshold` means that IDOL Server frequently updates the profile agents with input documents. A high value means that IDOL Server frequently creates new profile agents.
