Creating a Monitoring Records
**Step 1. Create a monitoring record:**
Begin by navigating to the Monitoring Dashboard. Click on the "+ Monitoring Record" button to start a new monitoring check for an individual.
**Step 2. Add individual details:**
You will be prompted to enter the personal details of the individual you wish to monitor. The only mandatory fields are first name and last name, but providing additional information, such as date of birth, is highly recommended for more accurate results.
**Step 3. Select monitoring activities:**
Next, choose the activities you want to monitor for the individual. There are two key monitoring activities to select from:
* PEP & Sanctions monitoring
* Adverse Media monitoring
Choose Yes or No. Selecting "Yes" means the system will continuously monitor the individual against the activities database. If new records appear, the system will notify you with an updated status.
#### Step 4. Confirm and complete the monitoring setup
Before running the monitoring check, you will see a summary screen displaying the individual's details and the selected monitoring activities. Review the information to ensure accuracy. Once confirmed, the system will begin monitoring the individual, and a monitoring record will be created. You will receive notifications for any relevant updates or changes in the individual's status.
