1. Before you start

Use a saved Entity to run screenings, keep its data current and review its history.

Open the maintained PRINCE BANK PLC. Entity created in the registry Entity guide. Its monitoring frequency is Monthly. This walkthrough runs a screening before opening Screening History so the history contains a record.

Each new screening adds to the Entity history. Previous reports remain available.

Prince Bank Versions records the registry import and later data changes.

7. Understand Review Decisions and Re-import

Review Decisions shows saved match-review decisions for this Entity. Its purpose is to help filter false positives from repeated screenings and monitoring. The example briefly opens the page; making a review decision will be demonstrated separately.

Re-import, when available for a registry Company Entity, refreshes the record from its registry source. Review the refresh details before confirming. This walkthrough only points out the button.
