18.3 Network Analysis Tab

Note:

To view network graphs in the Network Analysis tab, the User Role must be mapped with the Case Network Tab function (CMNETTB).

Include Link Types

The Link Types List contains all the valid links, or relationship types, that are identified between two nodes (entities) in the Network Graph. The links are created based on Shared Activity and Known Relationship between two nodes.

Figure 18-1 Network Analysis - Include Link Types


Network Analysis - Include Link Types

The following table describes the available link types:

Table 18-12 Link Types

Link Type Type of Relationship Description
Account to Customer Known Relationship This relationship is used to create a link between the account (node) and a customer (node) identified from the starting node.
Account to Household Known Relationship This relationship is used to create a link between the account (node) and a customer (node) identified from the starting node.
Account to Correspondent Banks Known Relationship This relationship is used to create a link between the account (node) and a customer (node) identified from the starting node.
Account to Employee Known Relationship This relationship is used to create a link between the account (node) and a customer (node) identified from the starting node.
Customer to Customer Known Relationship This relationship is used to create a link between the customer (node) and a customer (node) identified from the starting node.
Wire Transaction Shared Activity This is used to create a link between two accounts (nodes) or link between account and external entity or link between two external entities that share a common wire transaction between them.
Monetary Instruments Transaction Shared Activity This is used to create a link between accounts (nodes) which share a common MI transaction between them.
Journal Transaction Shared Activity This is used to create a link between accounts (nodes) that share common Journal Transactions.
Insurance Transaction Shared Activity This is used to create a link between two accounts (nodes) or between account and an external entity which share a common Insurance Transactions.

Selecting a Link Type displays links of the selected type in the graph. For example, the Account to Household link type will ever discover accounts or household nodes.

Some of the Link Type and Starting Entity combinations may result in no results being returned. For example, selecting only a Household entity in the Entity Name list and selecting Wire Transaction in the Include Link Types list will return no nodes other than the starting Household entity. This is because transactions do not focus on household entities. The following table provides the Valid Link Types for each node.

The following table describes the valid entity link types.

Table 18-13 Valid Entity-Link Types

Starting Entity Valid Link Types
Household (HH) Account to Household
Account (AC)
  • Account to Correspondent Bank
  • Account to Customer
  • Account to Household
  • Account to Employee
  • Journal Transaction
  • MI Transaction
  • Wire Transaction
  • Insurance Transaction
Employee (EE) Employee to Account
Customer (CU)
  • Account to Customer
  • Customer to Customer
Correspondent Bank (CB) Account to Correspondent Bank
External Entity (EN)
  • MI Transaction
  • Wire Transaction
  • Insurance Transaction

The system uses this information to find the most recent information determine to known relationships and shared attributes.

Known Relationships

Known relationships are determined based on the criteria described in the following table:

StartEntity LinkType RelationshipIdentified
Account (AC) Account to Customer Account to Customer
Account to Household Account to Account Group
Account to Employee Account Owned by Employee
Account to Correspondent Bank Account to Client Bank
Customer (CU) Account to Customer Account to Customer
Customer to Customer Related Customer to Customer
Customer to Related Customer
Correspondent Bank (CB) Account to Correspondent Bank Account to Client Bank
Employee (EE) Account to Employee Account Owned by Employee
Household (HH) Account to Household Account to Household

Shared Attributes

The following attributes are considered for establishing a link between the nodes:
  • Wire Transactions: The activity link is established:
    • Between Beneficiary and Originator
    • Between Secondary Beneficiary and Originator
    • Between Secondary Originator and Beneficiary
    • Between Secondary Originator and Secondary Beneficiary
    • Between Sending Institution and Receiving Institution
    For Account starting nodes the link is established using Account to Account wire transactions, and Account to External Entity wire transactions.
    • For External Entity primary nodes the link is established using External Entity to Account wire transaction, and External Entity to External Entity wire transactions.
    • For Correspondent Bank primary nodes the link is established between Sending and Receiving Institution.
  • Journal Transactions: The nature of the relationship is established:
    • Between Account and Offset Account

      For Account primary nodes the link is established between Account and Offset Account (where focal account is the offset account and vice versa).

  • Monetary Instrument Transactions: The nature of the relationship is established:
    • Between Beneficiary and Remitter
    • Between Secondary Beneficiary and Remitter
    • Between Issuing Institution and Depositing Institution

      For Account primary nodes the link is established using Account to Account MI transactions, and Account to External Entity Monetary Instrument transactions.

      For External Entity primary nodes the link is established using External Entity to Account Monetary Instrument transactions, and External Entity to External Entity Monetary Instrument transactions.

      For Correspondent Bank primary nodes the link is established between Issuing and Depositing Institution.

  • Insurance Transactions: The nature of the relationship is established:
    • Between Insurance Policy Identifier and the Counter Party Derived Entity Identifier
    • Between Insurance Policy Identifier and the Counter Party Identifier
  • Transaction Date>=
    • The Transaction Date >= is used to build a network based on shared activity. Whenever this date is selected, the system checks for the transaction between Transaction Date >= and Transaction Date <= for establishing the link for Wire, Journal, MI and Insurance Transaction.
    • The Transaction Date >= is defaulted to 3 months prior to the current date.The Transaction Date >= cannot be greater than or equal to Transaction. An error message displays. You must enter a date in Transaction Date >= date field which is less than or equal to the Transaction Date <= field.
    • The Transaction Date>= cannot be a future date and when the user enters or select a future date. An error message displays.
  • Transaction Date<=
    • The Transaction Date <= is used to build a network based on shared activity. Whenever this date is selected, the system checks for the transaction between Transaction Date >= and Transaction Date <= for establishing the link for Wire, Journal, MI and Insurance Transaction.
    • The Transaction Date <= is defaulted to the current date.
    • The Transaction Date <= cannot be less than Transaction Date >=. When the user enters or selects an incorrect date, an error message displays.
    • The Transaction Date <= cannot be a future date. When the user enters or select a future date, an error message displays.
  • Maximum Degrees of Separation: The value you provide determines how many cycles out from the starting entity a repetition of queries will go, that is, how many levels of entities need to be identified. This number must be within your institution's limits (the default is 1-10). You cannot enter 0, decimals, or negative numbers. If you do not enter a number, the value displays the default of 3.Transaction Activity Options:
  • Transaction Activity Options filter the network based on the transaction activity. The following Transaction Activity Options display:
    • Transaction Amount >= filters out transactions with amounts greater than or equal to the specifiedamount.
    • Transaction Amount <= filters out transactions with amounts less than or equal to the specifiedamount.
