Finding entities by attribute alert generators

When you have an entity that you are watching, you can create attribute alert generators with the criteria for that entity. Whenever identity records or entities contain attributes that match the criteria, the system generates an attribute alert. Each Visualizer user creates and manages personal attribute alert generators for a specific date range.

Because attribute alert generators are submitted through the pipeline, the entity resolution process is performed on those search requests in the same manner as it is on incoming entity data:

To make the best use of attribute alert generators, it is important to understand how entity resolution works and is configured for your system, because entity resolution is used to find your attribute alert results. For example, if entity resolution is not configured to find matches based solely on a name, an attribute alert generator configured to search only for a name value returns no results. Likewise, because entity resolution does not resolve entities based on a postal code alone, an attribute alert generator specifying only a postal code returns no results.

When creating an attribute alert generator, use the following guidelines:
