Reviewing results and closing a check

Review the matches#

Each search lists its matches with where they were found and any Related matters. Give each match a Review status:

• Unreviewed: not looked at yet.
• Review required: needs a closer look or someone else's opinion.
• Conflict: a real conflict.
• No conflict: not a problem.

Select several matches and use Mark as… to set them at once, and add a Note to any match to explain your decision. Each search's status follows from its matches: No matches, or the most serious status among them.

Set the overall status#

When you've reviewed everything, set the check's Overall conflict status: Conflict, No conflict, Review required or Undetermined. You set this yourself; it isn't worked out from the matches.

Close and get the report#

Click Close and generate report. A check can't be closed while its overall status is Unreviewed. Closing:

• creates a PDF Report of every search and its results, kept with the check;
• freezes the check: its results can't be reviewed any more;
• if the overall status is No conflict and the check is linked to a matter, records the date the matter's conflict check was completed (if it isn't set already).

After closing#

• Reopen a closed check to review it again.
• Archive a check you no longer need in the list; Unarchive brings it back.
• Search again re-runs an open check against your current records, keeping the reviews of matches it still finds.
• Duplicate copies every search into a new check, for instance to search the same names again later.

A check's searches can't be changed once it has run: duplicate it to change them. Every change is listed in the check's History.
