4.11.2 Configuring Watch List Filtering
Watch List filtering is controlled by configuring reference data in the watch list projects.
Note:
- The reference data sets in the Watch list Management and Customer-Screening projects are identical. This is to support installations that require filtering at different stages. For example, if a company wants to initially filter the prepared watch list data and then run several screening projects to filter specific parts of the data.
- Once data is filtered out from the watch list, it is not possible to view the filtered data in another project. If, for example, all entities are filtered out in the Watch list Management project, then the Customer-Screening project will not display the entities in the screening results.
The first level of filtering is controlled by editing the following filters in the Watch
list Management project:
- Go to the EDQ URL and open the Director menu. The
Director Landing page appears.

- In the Director landing page, expand the Watch
list Management project in the Project
Browser pane.

- Expand the Reference Data node and open Filter-Settings. The Reference Data Editor – Filter-Settings window appears.

All the reference data filters except the Linked Profiles filter is set to Y by default. Unless these settings are changed, no actual filtering is performed on the watch list data. In the filter settings, a value of Y indicates that all records are included, that is, no filters are applied.
Watch list filtering falls into four categories:
- By list and list subkey
- By list record origin characteristics
- By list profile record characteristics
- By linked profiles
For more information, see the example provided in Setting Primary Filters and Linked Profile Filters in the Watch list Management Project.
