Client settings ​

Various settings can be configured via the Portal interface.

INFO

You will need "Update config" permissions in order to access these pages.

Client configuration can also be read and updated through the public API. The API only exposes settings for the authenticated client. For the document expiration settings, the response also includes the platform default as defaultValue when available; this does not create a client override.

EndpointMethodDescription
/api/client/configGETReturns the configured values for the authenticated client.
/api/client/config/{key}GETReturns one configured value.
/api/client/configPUTUpdates one or more client settings.
/api/client/configDELETERemoves one or more client overrides.

For example, update the document expiry settings with:

json
{
  "document-age-threshold": "90",
  "expiration-alert-lead-time": "30"
}

Values are supplied as strings. The expiry settings must be positive whole numbers of calendar days. To restore a setting to the platform default, remove the client override:

json
["expiration-alert-lead-time"]

The update and delete endpoints require the appropriate client configuration permission.

General Settings ​

General settings

Rules settings: ​

Fuzzy matching ​

Controls fuzzy matching levels for name checks across the platform. For example: "Name on document vs name on case". Enable which options you want to accept as a match from this screen.

INFO

If no fuzzy options are enabled, then exact matches will be used.

LevelDescription
AbbreviationsThis will allow common shortened versions of names to be deemed a match. An example would be Chris Vs Christopher and Matt Vs Matthew. It is important to note that this does not include scenarios where characters are changed, such as Andy Vs Andrew.
VariationsThis will allow common alternative spellings of names to be deemed a match. An example would be Stephen Vs Steven and Mohammed Vs Muhammed.
NicknamesThis will allow common alternative versions of names, often referred to as nicknames, to be deemed a match. An example would be Bob Vs Robert and Mike Vs Michael.
InitialsThis will allow the first initial of first name to be deemed a match with the full name. An example would be J Smith Vs John Smith.

INFO

The result will be considered an overall match if at least 1 of your selected options matches. For example, if you enable Abbreviations and Initials but only Initials matches, the overall result will still be a match.

Ignore Diactritics ​

Ignore diacritics when matching names across the platform. This will apply to all enabled "Fuzzy Match Options" above, including "exact".

INFO

Leaving this option blank will use the platform default of false.

Allow Reversed Names ​

If enabled, name checks will allow forename/surnames to be reversed. E.g. when enabled, "James Smith" will match "Smith James".

INFO

Leaving this option blank will use the platform default of false.

Document Age Threshold ​

Controls the age threshold for the "Document age" rule. Documents older than this value will flag.

INFO

Leaving this option blank will use the platform default option of 90

Expiration Alert Lead Time ​

Controls how many calendar days before a document reaches its effective expiry date the "Document Expiring" risk is raised. This applies to both expiry-date-based and issue-date-based document types.

INFO

Leaving this option blank will use the platform default option of 30 days.

Address Match Fields ​

Configures which fields must match when performing address checks on split addresses across the platform.

OptionDescription
AllRequires all present fields match. Missing fields on either side are ignored.
House Name / Number + PostcodeRequres House Name OR House Number, AND Postcode. Other fields are ignored.

INFO

Leaving this option blank will use the platform default option of All

Combined Address Match Fields ​

Configures which fields must match when performing address checks on combined addresses across the platform.

OptionDescription
AllRequires all present fields match. Missing fields on either side are ignored.
House Name / Number + PostcodeRequres House Name OR House Number, AND Postcode. Other fields are ignored.

INFO

Leaving this option blank will use the platform default option of House Name / Number + Postcode

Combined Address Services ​

Some services and checks require a split address in order to run. When a case is created with a combined address, we will try to split it into its individual components. You can control whether we attempt to run these services with the automatically split address.

Document Extraction ​

Proof of Address Page Count ​

Number of pages to process when performing a proof of address extraction.

INFO

Leaving this option blank will use the platform default option of 1

Proof of Address Trim to Page Count ​

If enabled, any additional pages above the "Proof of Address Page Count" will be stripped from the document and will not be saved nor viewable in the portal. The original document will still be sent for Tamper Detection.

INFO

Leaving this option blank will use the platform default option of false

Proof of Address Process Bank Statements ​

If enabled, bank statements will still be processed as a bank statement when flagged as POA, extracting transactions, and triggering downstream rules, etc.

Note: Enabling this option, but disabling "Trim to Proof of Address Page Count" will result in the POA bank statements being processed as normal.

INFO

Leaving this option blank will use the platform default option of true

Tamper Detection Settings ​

These settings only have an effect when both Tamper Detection and Tamper Lite are enabled for your account. The Portal only shows them in that case.

When Tamper Lite Raises a Risk ​

Controls whether Tamper Detection still runs on a document where Tamper Lite has raised a risk. Through the API, this is the tamper-detection-on-tamper-lite-risk setting.

Tamper Lite raises a risk on a document when any of its checks is Flagged, whatever rating you've given that risk. A check whose risk is disabled in your risk configuration doesn't run, so it can't cause Tamper Detection to be skipped.

The setting is read when a document is uploaded, so changing it only affects documents uploaded afterwards. Documents already uploaded follow the setting that applied when they were uploaded.

OptionValueDescription
Run Tamper DetectionrunTamper Detection and Tamper Lite both run on every document, independently of each other.
Skip Tamper DetectionskipTamper Lite runs first. Where it raises a risk on a document, Tamper Detection is skipped for that document and shown as Skipped. Otherwise Tamper Detection runs.
json
{
  "tamper-detection-on-tamper-lite-risk": "skip"
}

INFO

Leaving this option blank or setting any value other than "skip" or "run" will use the platform default option of Run Tamper Detection (run)

WARNING

If you choose skip and integrate through the API, make sure your integration handles the Skipped asset run state in case progress. If you use webhooks to know when Tamper Detection has finished, also register for tamper-detection/skipped: no tamper-detection/completed event is sent for a skipped file.
