Criteria


Add additional criteria. 

Search Accuracy

Search accuracy enables the system to select cross-checks that may not be an exact match for what the lists are seeking. If you enable Fuzzy Logic, you'll need to specify a number between 1 and 100. This ensures that the policy will be applied to records that meet the specified percentage of matching criteria.

Set Search field options

Input a name in the Name field that you want to cross-check against the lists you selected. 

Add a country to the Country field that you want to cross-check against the lists you selected. 

Tagging

Choose the field that requires tagging. If an entity or person is embargoed, they will be tagged with the corresponding sources in the selected field. For example, if you choose Embargo Reason as the tagged field, all matched sources should be tagged to this field.
