IM Relationship Resolution Information Center, Version 4.2

Role Alert Detail report

Use the Role Alert Detail report to view full details about a specific role alert, and the entities involved in the alert at each degree of separation. This report is useful when you want to further your analysis of the entities involved in each role alert.

For each degree of separation, the report displays information about the two entities involved in the alert for you to compare and contrast. Then the report shows other alerts associated with each entity, so you get a full picture of each entity and its associated role alerts. Typically, the detail about each role alert spans multiple pages.

Alert ID
Description and alert ID for a specific role alert. The alert ID appears before the description in the report header.
Role alert information
This section displays general information for the overall role alert, such as a description of the role alert rule that triggered this alert, and the role alert's current status.
Date and time alerted
Date and time this role alert was generated.
Rule ID
Internal number generated by the system when the role alert rule was initially configured, this ID is associated with the role alert rule that triggered this role alert.
Rule description
Text to describe the role alert rule, defined by the user who configured the role alert rule.
Severity
User-defined code used to indicate the priority or importance of this alert.
Status
Current disposition of this role alert.
Relationship confidence
Score that represents how closely related the two entities are that are listed under the Matching Details: Degree n section. The higher the score, the more closely they are related. A score of 100 indicates that the inbound entity and the matched entity are the same entity.
The relationship confidence score is generated by the system, as part of the entity resolution process.
Resolution score
Score that represents how closely the two entities match. The higher the score, the more closely they match. A score of 100 indicates that the inbound entity and the matched entity are the same entity.
The resolution score is generated by the system as part of the entity resolution process.
Resolution confidence
Base resolution score configured as part of entity resolution that represents the minimum score to resolve the inbound entity and the matched entity into one entity. Often, the Resolution score and the Resolution confidence score are the same.
Matching Details: Degree n section
This section provides matching details for entities involved in the alert and identity information for the respective entities. The two entities are represented as Entity x (Inbound Identity) and Entity y (Matched Identity).
For each entity and each attribute data type, the report lists the matching data values, as well as the data source and external ID associated with each entity's data values. Then the report displays the precision descriptions and scores for the matching attributes. If one of the matching attributes is Name, the report may also list details about how entity resolution scored the names, depending on which name scoring options are configured for entity resolution.
Data Type
Name of the matching attribute.
Value
Data value that matched.
Data Source
For each entity, the data source code and description that supplied the matching attribute and data value. This information identifies the original source file.
External ID
For each entity, the external ID associated with the data source code that supplied the matching attribute and data value. This information often identifies an account number for the entity in the original source file.
Precision Description
Text that describes the level of precision that the entities matched at.
Precision levels are configured during entity resolution configuration, by attribute.
Precision/Max Precision
The first number is the system-generated precision score, which indicates how closely Entity x (Inbound Identity) matched Entity y (Matched Identity). The second number is the maximum precision score attainable.
By comparing the two numbers, you can determine more about the closeness of the match between the entities, such as the value of exploring the match further. You might also use these scores to determine if the alert search criteria needs adjusting.
Score Adjustment
The resolution score was adjusted by this number. This number is configured during entity resolution configuration.
Name Scoring Details
If one of the matching attributes is the Name data type, the report may also provide details on how the entity resolution process scored the name matches. For this section of the report to display, one or more of the following name options must be configured as part of entity resolution:
  • Name Manager for Entity Analytics
  • Name Comparator 2
Full Name
Score (0-100) that represents how closely the full name of both entities matched. This score is configured as part of entity resolution.
Surname
Score (0-100) that represents how closely the surname of both entities matched. This score is configured as part of entity resolution.
Given Name
Score (0-100) that represents how closely the given name of both entities matched. This score is configured as part of entity resolution.
Entity x and y Identity Information section
This section of the report lists specific information about each identity.
Data Type
Characteristic name. (For example, Name.)
Value
Characteristic value. (For example, SMITH, BRUCE.
Other Alerts for Entity x and y section
This section of the report lists the role alert history of all other role alerts and relationships associated with both the inbound entity (Entity x) and the matching entity (Entity y). It also lists the event alert history of all event alerts associated with both the inbound entity (Entity x) and the matching entity (Entity y). This information can provide you with a more complete picture of each entity, its associated alerts and relationships to other entities, which may assist your analysis.
Role Alert History
Contains the information from the Entity Resume role alert history.
Alert Date and Time
Date and time the role alert was generated.
Alert ID
Description and alert ID for this role alert.
Description
Text to describe the role alert rule that triggered this alert.
Entity ID
ID number for the entity on this row that matched the entity listed by number in Other Alerts for Entity n.
Name
Name of the other entity that matched the entity listed by number in Other Alerts for Entity n.
Relationships
Number of relationships associated with the related entity.
Relationship Score
Score that represents how closely the two entities are related. The higher the score, the more closely they are related. A score of 100 indicates that the inbound entity and the matched entity are the same entity.
This score is generated by the system, as part of the entity resolution process.
Activity Code
User-defined code that indicates an action taken by a user on this alert. Activity codes are configured in the Configuration Console and selected from a drop-down in the Visualizer when an alert is updated. Some examples of activity codes include Open, Assigned, Hold, and Closed.
Status
Disposition status for this alert update, modified on status date and time. Statuses display in update order, so the last status update is listed last.
Event Alert History
Contains the information from the Entity Resume event alert history.
Date and Time Alerted
Date and time the event alert was generated
Alert ID
Unique system-generated identifer for the event alert.
Description
Description of the event alert, from event configuration in the Configuration Console.
