[object]

List of individual watchlist screening hits

id

string

Once a hit has been marked as confirmed or dismissed it will no longer be updated so that the state is as it was when the review was first conducted.

name

string

A name for the program to define its purpose. For example, "High Risk Individuals", "US Cardholders", or "Applicants".

Min length: 1

name_sensitivity

string

The valid name matching sensitivity configurations for a screening program. Note that while certain matching techniques may be more prevalent on less strict settings, all matching algorithms are enabled for every sensitivity.
coarse - See more potential matches. This sensitivity will see more broad phonetic matches across alphabets that make missing a potential hit very unlikely. This setting is noisier and will require more manual review.
balanced - A good default for most companies. This sensitivity is balanced to show high quality hits with reduced noise.
strict - Aggressive false positive reduction. This sensitivity will require names to be more similar than coarse and balanced settings, relying less on phonetics, while still accounting for character transpositions, missing tokens, and other common permutations.
exact - Matches must be nearly exact. This sensitivity will only show hits with exact or nearly exact name matches with only basic correction such as extraneous symbols and capitalization. This setting is generally not recommended unless you have a very specific use case.

Possible values: coarse, balanced, strict, exact

object

Information about the last change made to the parent object specifying what caused the change as well as when it occurred.

string
