-Parameters in this verification allow partial dates to match to either full dates or other partial dates. Different methods are used in this FULL/PARTIAL/WITHIN.
+As there have been different cataloging standards through the years, sometimes it makes sense to have a more flexible method for checking dates against other records. Backstage utilizes 3 different methods (Full, Partial, Within) in an attempt to give you the kind of control you would hope to find with respect to your data.
 ===Full===
 Full compares both date1 and date2 of each record; both must match:

+<font color="blue">1973</font>  <font color="red">1972</font></font>
 In this example, date1 in Record A (1970) does not match date2 in Record B (1972). So, it checks date2 of Record A (1973) against date1 of Record B (1973). Matching on Within returns a match for these two records.

 Since Record A's date1 (1971) is a mismatch against Record B's date1 (1972), both record's date2 (1973) are considered. Matching on Partial returns a match for these two records.

 In this example, both date1 (1972) & date2 (1973) of Record A & B match. Matching on Full returns a match for these two records.
 ===Partial===
 Partial compares date1 of each record. If no match it compares date2 (as long date doesn't contain fill characters--<space> or <pipe>):

 Verify Date: This is for verifying on the publication date used in the 008 date fields (positions 7-10 and 11-14.
-=== Verify Method ===
+== Verify Method ==
 Parameters in this verification allow partial dates to match to either full dates or other partial dates. Different methods are used in this FULL/PARTIAL/WITHIN.
-*FULL compares both date1 and date2 of each record - both have to match.
+== Tolerance ==
-*PARTIAL compares date1 of each record. If no match it compares date2 if the dates don't start with fill characters (space or |).
-*WITHIN compares date1 of one record to date2 of the other and vice-versa. If no match it also does a parital verify.
-−
-=== Tolerance ===
 The date tolerance for the Verify Date parameter is the number of years the date can differ and still qualify as a matched record. This allows for more leniency with hits on the 010/020 and stricter criteria for the TITLE or other fields. The tolerance allows for dates to match within a specified number of years.
-====Match exactly====
+===Match exactly===
 The year '''1996''' can only verify with another record that has the year '''1996'''. It will not match either '''1995''', '''199u''', '''199-''', or '''199 ''' (ends with blank).
-====Off by 1 year====
+===Off by 1 year===
 The year '''1996''' would match either '''1995''', '''1996''', or '''1997'''. It would not match '''1994''', '''1998''', or years where the ending digit is missing or contains a fill character.
-====Off by # years====
+===Off by # years===
 This allows the year tolerance to be increased by the Library for two-plus years. This is helpful when the desired outcome is to match the same decade of the original year in question.
