IM Relationship Resolution Information Center, Version 4.2

Role alerts

A role alert identifies when one or two entities that are linked through a relationship share roles that have been defined as of interest or as conflicting. Role alerts are based on defined roles and can indicate a warning or a problem (such as a customer knows a bad guy) or simply indicate relationships of interest (a customer knows an employee).

You define relationships of interest or as conflicting by configuring role alert rules, which identify which roles cannot exist in a single entity or cannot be linked between one or more entities. You can also configure filters for role alerts, which determine if the system re-alerts when there is new information (such as a new identity or a new data source code).

During entity resolution, the pipeline evaluates relationships between the incoming identity and entities on the candidate list. After determining a relationship exists between the incoming identity and a candidate entity, the system then evaluates whether or not the roles assigned meet a configured role alert rule. If so, the system generates a role alert.

A role alert identifies entity data at the time the role alert was created. As entity data changes over time, the entity resume contains the latest entity data. If you want to see the current data for a particular entity, view the entity resume.

You can view and work with role alerts in the Visualizer. You can also set Visualizer preferences to configure how alerts display in your Visualizer session.
