Analyzing Entities
You can analyze the entities stored in the entity database using
the Visualizer.
- Viewing entity resumes
If you want to see all of the information about a specific entity
in the entity database, you can view the entity resume.
- Printing an entity resume
If you want a hard copy of an entity resume, if you want a PDF
version of an entity resume, or if you want to copy entity resume information
into another application like a word processor or spreadsheet, there are several
different ways to print an entity resume.
- Finding entities
When you are using the Visualizer, you can use several Find By
methods to find an entity in the entity: Find By attribute, Find By data source,
Find By Entity ID, or Find By resolution. If you want to be notified each
time the system processes a record containing a particular name, address,
number, or email address, you create an attribute alert generator to automatically
"find" entities.
- Attribute alert generators
Attribute alert generators are database queries configured in the
Visualizer that search the entity database for a configured period of time
and generate an attribute alert whenever a specified entity attribute value
or combination of entity attribute values are added to the entity database.
- Reviewing attribute alerts
You can assign attribute alerts to yourself and update the disposition
of an attribute alert as you address it.
- Viewing entity graphs
When you want to see a graphical representation of the information
about a specific entity contained in the entity database, use the entity graph.
- Reviewing role alerts
You can review and disposition role alerts in the Visualizer. You
can also assign role alerts to yourself or to another analyst group.
- Viewing role alert graphs
If you want to see a graphical representation of how the entities
that were identified in a role alert are related, you can view a role alert
graph.
