# Managing Contexts

> Group sources, rules, and schedules into reconciliation contexts that define each specific matching workflow you operate.

Use the **Contexts** page in the Matcher module to create and manage reconciliation contexts. A context groups together the sources, rules, and schedules that define a specific reconciliation workflow.

## Accessing the Contexts page

***

To open the **Contexts** page, select **Contexts** under the **Reconciliation** section of the left sidebar.

## Context list

</Frame>

The table displays all reconciliation contexts with the following columns:

| Column       | Description                                                                  |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**     | The context name                                                             |
| **ID**       | The unique context identifier                                                |
| **Type**     | Matching cardinality (`1:1`, `1:N`, or `N:M`)                                |
| **Interval** | How often reconciliation runs (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly) |
| **Status**   | Current state of the context                                                 |

### Context statuses

| Status       | Description                                                |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Active**   | The context is operational and accepts reconciliation runs |
| **Paused**   | The context is temporarily suspended                       |
| **Draft**    | The context is being configured and is not yet active      |
| **Archived** | The context is no longer in use and has been archived      |

Use the actions menu on each row to view context details or delete a context.

## Creating a new context

***

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Click the **New Context** button on the Contexts page.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Fill in the **General Information** section:

    | Field                   | Description                                                                            |
    | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Name** (required)     | A descriptive name for the context (e.g., "Daily Bank Reconciliation")                 |
    | **Type** (required)     | Matching cardinality: `1:1` (one-to-one), `1:N` (one-to-many), or `N:M` (many-to-many) |
    | **Interval** (required) | How often reconciliation runs: `Daily`, `Weekly`, `Monthly`, `Quarterly`, or `Yearly`  |
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Optionally configure **Fee Tolerance** settings:

    | Field             | Description                                                             |
    | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Absolute**      | Maximum absolute difference allowed between matched amounts             |
    | **Percentage**    | Maximum percentage difference allowed between matched amounts           |
    | **Normalization** | Method used to normalize fee values before comparison: `NET` or `GROSS` |
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Optionally enable **Auto-match on upload**. When turned on, the reconciliation engine runs automatically as soon as new data is uploaded to this context.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Save** to create the context.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Context detail page

***

Click on a context name or select **Details** from the actions menu to open the context detail page. The detail page is organized into the following sections:

</Frame>

### General Information

Displays the context's current settings including name, type, interval, fee tolerance, and auto-match configuration. The page header shows the context name, status badge, type, interval, and creation date. Use the status action buttons to pause, resume, or archive the context.

### Data Sources

Lists all data sources configured for this context. From here you can create, edit, and delete sources. For more details, see [Context Sources](/en/platform/lerian-console/matcher-console/context-sources).

### Match Rules

Lists all match rules configured for this context. From here you can create, edit, and delete rules. For more details, see [Context Rules](/en/platform/lerian-console/matcher-console/context-rules).

### Schedules

Lists all reconciliation schedules configured for this context. Schedules define when reconciliation runs execute automatically. For more details, see [Context Schedules](/en/platform/lerian-console/matcher-console/context-schedules).

<Note>
  Sources, Rules, and Schedules are all managed from within the context detail page. There are no separate standalone pages for these entities.
