Creating Focus Types (MMG)

Organizations can create and configure Focus Types according to their business needs.

A Focus Type describes the main entity on which the analysis, report, or calculation is centered. For example, a focal entity might be a customer whose transactions are being analyzed for suspicious activity. Focusing on the entity of interest ensures the granularity required for regulatory, risk, and business reporting or monitoring is appropriate. Relevant data is aggregated, filtered, or analyzed specifically for that entity.

The Account and Customer focus types are provided out-of-the-box, but you can create additional focus types to meet your organization's business needs.

To create a focus type, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Applications landing page.
2. Click the Navigation Menu to access the Navigation List. The Navigation List displays the list of modules.
3. Click Application Administration, then Data Transformation Pipeline Admin.
4. Select Focus Type. The Focus Type admin page displays with a sortable list of current focus types.
5. Click Add . The Add Focus Type pane opens.
6. Enter a Name for the Focus Type, such as External Entity. Valid characters include: A-Z a-z '-', with a maximum length of 100 Characters. For example, ABCDef or Abc-Def.
7. Click Save. A Focus Type ID is generated for this type and the new focus type is added to the list.
