Person screening types
There are two ways you can screen a Person at Salv:
Let Salv automatically screen Persons daily, or
If needed, make a separate API call and screen a Person on demand.
Read about both ways in more detail below.
One person per one screening event can generate multiple alerts, depending on the number of Screening Flows, types of lists enabled (Sanction, PEP/RCA, Adverse media, Custom lists) and Clearance rules applied.
When alert is created, a webhook (trigger: SCREENING_ALERT) can be setup to be sent with alert details.
Automatic re-screening
Automatic re-screening checks are started automatically between 1-4am (GMT+2) using the latest updated versions of Dow Jones lists or Custom lists.
It is possible to turn off Automatic re-screening with Segments and still be able to screen a person using API call.
API screening
Person can also be screened by sending an API call with an id of the person to screen. The same screening flow is applicable to API screening as for Automatic person re-screening person, i.e. the same screening configuration, clearance rules, goodlisting.
If there is no match, empty API response is returned. If there is at least one match, there is content in the API response and alert (or alerts) is created.
If there is a match which is cleared out by Clearance rules - API response is empty, even though an alert with Filtered status is created.
Repetitive Person screening API calls
If repetitive API screening check calls are made for the same person, there will be no repetitive alerts. If there's an alert created, then the same alert will not be created unless something triggers full re-screening. This is triggered by the sanction entry being changed, relevant Person data fields being changed or new sanction list being added.
❗ No new alerts will be created when repetitive API calls are made, but the API payload response will have content if the person has:
If all alerts for a match are FILTERED or closed with final non-active status, response is empty.
Person screening configuration
Screening Flows
Person screening is configured through Screening Flows. Using Screening Flows, you can select specific name data fields from the data you provide, screen them against chosen list types, and apply them to specific Segments with a selected matching type. This setup gives you full control over your screening configuration.
For a complete introduction to Screening Flows, please refer to this article.
Exempting Person Segments from Screening
Before processing the data, our system checks whether the Person belongs to a Segment that has been excluded from screening.
For example, you can make sure terminated clients are not screened at all.
This feature helps reduce unnecessary alerts and focuses efforts on the most relevant cases.

Significant Update Indicators
We screen the Person against all enabled lists when conducting the first screening. In subsequent screenings
we only screen them against updated or new list records,
unless
the Person’s data has been updated.
Not all updates to list records and changes in personal data are significant; for instance, correcting a typo in record’s source description or updating a Person’s email. Therefore, you can choose which changes in the Person’s data and list records warrant a full re-screening during subsequent screening events by editing Significant Update Indicators.
