5.6.1.8.2 Designating Suppression

This section describes how to designate a suppression rule. Suppression is performed on an Event as a Risk Event Decision.

To designate an event suppression, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Events Details tab.
2. Select the one or more required Event IDs.
3. Click Set Event Decision. The Set Event Decision window displays.
4. Select Suppress Future Events from the Select Decision drop-down list.

   Note:

   The Suppress Future Events option in the Select Decision drop-down list will only display for users with a Designate Suppression Rule permission. Contact your administrator to enable this permission.
5. Select 3, 6, 9 or 12 months from the Duration drop-down list. Administrator can configure additional Durations to display in this list. For more information, see the Administration and Configuration Guide.
6. Select the Expiration Date. If both the duration and the expiration are selected, the expiration overrides the duration.
7. Select the Standard Comment from the drop-down list. By default, the following standard comments are provided for AML and FRAUD Case types.
   • Based on Account Type
   • Based on Customer Type
   • Will be evaluated for Suppression
   • Will be evaluated for Auto-close

   You can select multiple events and set one or more standard comments along with risk event decisions. Administrator can create different Standard Comments per case type. For more information, see the Administration and Configuration Guide.

8. Enter comments in the Comment text box for the selected option.
9. Click Save.
   The updates are recorded and displayed in the Decision column of Event List section. The suppression request is sent for approval. These suppression requests will be available on the Suppression Administration page once the current case is closed. All suppression requests must be reviewed and approved. For more information on how that is done, see Taking Action on Suppression Requests.

   Note:

   • The Suppression History below the Cancel or Save button displays whether the Focal Entity or Scenario pair has had suppression rules before.
   • When multiple events are selected, the Suppression History for all events is displayed in a single grid.
