Foreword
Foreword
goAML is an integrated and modular system designed to fit the needs of any Financial
Intelligence Unit. The goAML solution is executed in the following steps – collection,
collation, analysis (rule-based, risk score and profiling), case workflow and intelligence
dissemination. The data sent by the financial institutions goes to a common database and
becomes accessible to the FIU compliance and analysis staff. The goAML system then
permits data for analysis. goAML processes and analyzes high volumes of reports on
suspicious transactions or cash transactions of any kind. The reports are fully populated with
all the information needed for analysis to begin, from full customer details through to
transactional details for multiple time frames. The system also permits electronic data
collection and dissemination from other Sources such as Tax and Law Enforcement
authorities, Property Registrars, Vehicle Registrars etc.
At the click of a button, the investigator can drill down through the information to
build a detailed picture of events. The fully automated profiling creates a base line for
persons, occupation groups, business types, accounts etc. The link analysis functionality aids
in recognizing patterns and identifying common links across cases, customers, accounts,
transactions and various other parameters. The graphic representations of these links are easy
to understand showing relationships across different parameters.
The analysis feature of goAML provides tactical and strategic support to investigative
and analytical teams and utilises highly sophisticated but user-friendly reporting features to
chart high volumes of data. The rule-based analysis of the goAML application enables the
design of rules with dynamic risk-scores; continuous scanning of data ensures that reporting
transactions fit the patterns.
A security model that specifies what kind of access rights each user has (which
implies audit trail and full logging of every transaction done by each user) drives the
system. goAML offers other versatile options such as dynamic user filtering, grouping of
data, export data to Excel, watch list integration, analyst workspace and alert management.
The system supports a wide range of data volume depending on the reporting mandate of
individual jurisdictions. In a nutshell, goAML is an ideal anti-money laundering system that
offers an integration solution and replaces several disparate solutions.

1.0 Getting Started
1
Getting Started
1.1
Login to goAML
Start the application either via the Windows Start menu (ProgramsgoAML) or by doubleclicking on the goAML icon ( ) on your desktop. The login window appears:
You can select the type of authentication that you want to enable on login for a new user
under System Administration > User Maintenance. You can either use goAML or an
Active Directory user as an authentication method. If you have chosen the Active Directory
authentication, you can select the Auto-login check-box.
Enter your User Name and Password into the respective fields.
When launching goAML for the first time (or if the database server has changed), click
Server Info and enter the server information as provided by your goAML or system
administrator.
Handle Workspace as follows:
Leave the field empty, if you want to start with a clean application window.
Select “Last session” from the drop-down list, if you want goAML to launch the window, as it
was when you last exited the application.
Select any other list item to load a previously saved window layout (see section 3.3: Analyst
workspaces for details).
Confirm with Login. The goAML application window is launched in the selected
configuration.
1.2
Change password
The first thing you may want to do after logging into the application is changing your
password from the default password defined by the goAML administrator.
i.
Select FileChange Password from the main menu.
ii.
The Change Password pop-up window appears:

The User Interface
By default, the goAML user interface looks like this:
As in many other desktop applications, the application window contains the following
functional elements:






Main menu: Gives access to all goAML functions (see section 2.1: The main menu).
Toolbar: A collection of icons for activating common functions (see section 2.2: The
toolbar).
Quick-access bar: One-click access to useful goAML tools (see section 2.3: The quickaccess bar).
Status bar: Information about the current working context (see section 2.4: The status
bar).
Context menu: Available processing functions for the selected content (see section 2.5:
The context menu).
Working area: The main area of the user interface. The functional tabs can be opened
here (see section 2.6: The working area).
Note: The functionality of these elements is explained in detail in the next sections.
goAML User Guide

2.0 The User Interface
2.1
The main menu
The goAML main menu is by default located at the top of the application window and looks
as follows:
Each menu has a number of menu items; some of them trigger functions, others are split into
submenus (indicated by)
Note: The Management and System Admin menus are only available to goAML users with
administrative rights. The above menu can differ based on the permissions the goAML
administrator has granted to you.
You can activate a function in two ways:
i. Mouse-click: Select a menu item by clicking on it or expand a submenu () by
hovering with the mouse pointer over the submenu name and select an item from there
by clicking on it.
ii. Accelerators: The underlined letter of a menu label is the so-called accelerator. Hold the
<Alt> key down and hit the accelerator keys on the keyboard to expand the menu or
trigger the function.
Example:
Hold <Alt> down and hit F, followed by P, to trigger the “change password” function.
Release <Alt> afterwards.
Note: Not all menu items have accelerators.
2.2
The toolbar
In the standard set-up, the toolbar is located right below the main menu (see section 2.1: The
main menu). The toolbar has options that trigger general goAML functions
Coloured icons ( ) mean that you can execute the function right now. Impressed icons ( )
indicate functions which are currently in use. Greyscale icons ( ) are functions which are
deactivated (not usable) in the current working context.
Example:
When some data is displayed in the goAML window, then the Print function is active. If no data is
to be seen (e.g. right after the start-up), then the icon is deactivated. As soon as you click on it and
the printing dialogue appears, the icon becomes impressed.
Note: See section 3: General Functions for details about the different functions.
2.3
The quick-access bar
The quick-access bar is located near the bottom of the application window.
In the default configuration, it looks as follows:
goAML User Guide
Page 10 of 173
2.0 The User Interface
i. To open one of these tools, click on the respective item in the quick-access bar. The
window of the tool unfolds into the working area.
ii. Click into some other area of the goAML window to fold the tool back into its place.
iii. Click on the pin icon ( ) in the top right corner to fix the tool (hold it open
permanently).
iv. Click again on the pin ( ), to remove the fixation and make the tool foldable again.
Note: See section 3: General Functions for details about the different tools.
2.4
The status bar
The goAML status bar is located at the bottom of the application window and holds useful
information about the current working status:
In the bottom right corner, you see the name of the goAML database you are working on, the
user name with which you are logged in and the culture of the application (i.e. the interface
language and other settings). The bottom left corner shows the most recent status information.
Example:
In the above image, the last reported action was a data retrieval, which took 31.4 seconds. The user
“goaml” is logged into the database “goaml_qat” and uses the (default) English settings.
2.5
The context menu
The context menu is a quick and handy way to see and access context-specific functions. By
default, the context menu is hidden from view.
i. Right-click into the area on the screen, where you want to look for more options.
ii. The context menu appears:
iii. Click on a menu item to trigger the respective function.
Example:
The above example shows the context menu of a simple text field (left) and of the person lookup
window (right).
goAML User Guide

2.0 The User Interface
Note: The different context menu functions are described in their working context. Refer to
the respective chapters for details.
2.6
The working area
The goAML working area occupies the largest part of the application window. Its main
purpose is to hold input functions and to display all kinds of data. By default, the functional
elements are in Tabs.
Example:
In the above example, four tabs are open in the working area: The default start-up tab, Person
lookup, Person Full Details tabs (all three hidden) and a currently empty Case File tab (visible).
i. Click on a tab header to bring its content to the front.
ii. Use the key combination <Ctrl>+<Tab> to leaf through the open tabs from left to right
and <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<Tab> for the opposite direction.
iii. Click on close tab ( ) of any tab or hit <Ctrl>+F4 for the active tab to close it.

Data fields
In goAML, different types of data fields are used. They fall into the two main categories input
fields and selection fields.
3.2.1 Text field
Text fields are the most common field type in goAML used to enter arbitrary text, numbers
and special characters. Most text fields have no limitations while others might require certain
type of input (all numbers, not more than 20 characters or the like):
Input Fields are used for entering/saving information into the application as well as entering
filter criteria for reports. In goAML, the following types of fields are used:
3.2.2 Date field
Date fields accept only correct dates (in the form DD/MM/YYYY). They are equipped with
drop-down calendars to limit the possibility of errors.
i. Click on the day, month or year to edit the value manually or
ii. Click on the drop-down icon ( ) beside the field.
i.
ii.
Switch through the months and years using the arrow icons ()
Click on the desired day.
3.2.3 Drop-down boxes
Some fields only accept a very limited scope of input. For instance, “Foreigner” can only be
“Yes” or “No” (and “still undefined” as default). Another typical example is a country
goAML User Guide
Page 14 of 173
3.0 General Functions

are used.
i. Click on the drop-down icon ( ) beside the field. The available options are shown:
Click on an option to select it.
3.2.4 Checkbox
Checkboxes are decision fields for “Yes” and “No” decisions. What it is to decide determined
the label of the checkbox:
i. Click on the checkbox to activate it ( ) and opt for “Yes” or to deactivate it ( ) and
decide for “No”.
Example:
In the above example, goAML will not wait indefinitely for a database response, but return a
timeout after a certain period.
3.2.5 Radio button
Radio buttons are decision fields with a limited set of options (usually 2–7). The difference to
drop-down fields is that there is no undefined state. The difference to checkboxes is that the
answers need not be “Yes” and “No”, but can be anything:
i. Click on an option to select it.
Note: Associated radio buttons can be arranged beside or below each other, but they are
always grouped.
3.3
Analyst workspaces
A workspace is a template or a kind of layout for the goAML application window. It
determines which elements are loaded and displayed after logging in to goAML. You can
choose which workspace to load in the goAML login window (see section 1.1: Login to
goAML for details). There are three options:



None: Only the default start-up window is loaded, otherwise the application starts empty.
Last Session: The application window is loaded as previously exited (i.e. all functions and
views are restored as they were when leaving goAML the last time).
Custom: While working with goAML, it is always possible to save the current layout into
a custom workspace, which can be loaded in future sessions.
3.3.1 Save new workspace
To save a snapshot of your current working situation as a goAML workspace:
i. Select FileSave Workspace as from the main menu.
goAML User Guide
Page 15 of 173
3.0 General Functions
The Save Workspace as dialogue window is displayed:
Enter a (unique) name for the new workspace into the field New workspace name.
Click on
. The application layout is saved under the given name.
The next time you log into goAML, the saved workspace will be available in the Workspace
drop-down list on the login screen.
3.3.2 Overwrite current workspace
To overwrite your active workspace’s settings with the current application window layout:
i. Select FileSave Workspace from the main menu or hit <Ctrl>+<Shift>+W on the
keyboard.
The settings in the database are updated accordingly.
Note: You can only overwrite custom workspaces, not the default or last session. In these
cases use “save workspace as” instead.
3.4
Workflow assignments
The goAML workflow engine is the system component that manages the flow of business
objects (cases, STRs etc.) through the system. The workflow assignments are a list of all
business objects that are currently assigned to you and require your attention.
3.4.1 View workflow assignments list
The workflow assignments are located in the quick-access bar at the bottom of the screen (see
section 2.3: The quick-access bar for details).
i. Click on Workflow Assignments ( ) in the quick-access bar. The workflow
assignments list pops up:
The list shows the following data:
i. Reference Number: auto-generated Report Reference No.
ii. Name : The name of the Case
iii. Type: The type of step to be performed (e.g. a task).
goAML User Guide
Page 16 of 173
3.0 General Functions
iv. Date and Time: The instant this entry arrived.
v. From: The goAML user who assigned this step to you.
vi. Due Date: The latest date at which this workflow step has to be processed.
vii. Workflow Message: The automated message, added by goAML.
viii. Message from Sender: A personal message from the sender to you (optional).
Note: Messages in red are new and yet unopened.
Click on “Refresh messages” ( ) to update the list whenever you want to.
Double-click a message to open and process the referred business object.
Note: Once the business object has been processed and forwarded in the workflow, it will no
longer be shown in your workflow assignments window.
Some of the business processes/reports are shielded from some users. Only a few selected
users(analysts/investigators/account managers) are authorized to shield a business
process/report. If you have been shielded from these business process/report, you will get a
message (see below).
You can then request access to these reports and business processes if you need to work on
the business process/report. Only selected users have the permission to shield. This will be
indicated by the shield icon
. If it is enabled , it is yellow, and you have the permission to
shield a user from a business process or report; if not, it is greyed out.
Note: Users, who are unauthorized to the shielded business process/report can see them
displayed but are unable to open it and read the content. It is possibel to shield a business
process/Report for a user defined time period after which it can be made accessible to all
users.
Example:
You are authorized to shield the case INTEL0017 30Aug 13 as indicated by the

Page 17 of 173
3.0 General Functions
By clicking on this icon , the Business Object Shielding >> Group/User Mapping window appears.
Click on the double-arrows to include/exclude groups/users from a specific case/business process.
A notification to this effect will be sent to the user if the Notification check-box has been selected.
3.5
Risk score
The goAML analysis module utilizes a configurable risk score model, which checks every
person, account and entity and adds risk analysis information. The system prioritizes and rates
risks according to rules set up by the goAML administrator. These rules are based on where
and how often a person, entity or account is connected with a crime, case or STR.
Note: Refer to the goAML Administration Guide for details about configuring the risk score.
The score is represented as a coloured icon in the same row as the business object it belongs
to. The colour codes indicate the different risk scores, ranging from 1 to 10 (and >10):
Score:
1
2
3
4

Generate documents
In operations against organized crime it is often necessary to create official documents
containing some information retrieved with goAML (e.g. dossiers about persons and their
circumstances). For this, goAML provides the option to design document templates and to
layout the information in these templates on request.
Note: Document templates are designed by goAML administrators. Refer to the goAML
Administration Guide for details.
i. Open the context menu of one or more selected goAML objects (e.g. persons) in any grid
and choose Generate Document. A dialogue window containing all available
templates for this specific object type appears:
Activate the checkboxes Select of all templates you want to use (at least one).
Note: If you select more than one template, then the same document will be created once for
every template selected.
ii. Enter free text into the field Comments of the template. This text will appear in the

Multiple: If the checkbox is activated ( ), then this template can aggregate multiple
objects in one file. This means, if you have selected more than one object (a couple of
persons, for instance), then all these objects will be included in one combined document
file. If the checkbox is unchecked ( ), then a separate file will be created for each of them.
Repeat: If the checkbox is activated ( ), then multiple files are generated for each object.
You can select stakeholders and reporting entities and for each of them a separate file,
addressing the recipient directly, is generated.

4.16 Export / import XML
goAML provides an option for analysts to save a snapshot of the reports that they are
currently working on either in Excel or as an XML file. If a report is exported as an XML file,
it has the advantage that it can be imported into goAML again and the analyst can continue
working on this snapshot, e.g. export transactions for multiple involved accounts that have
been processed within a specific date range.
Exporting the report data is possible by either clicking on the Export to XML icon ( ) in the
toolbar or by choosing FileXML Export from the menu. Importing the data is possible by
clicking on the Import from XML icon ( ) or by choosing FileXML Import from the
menu.
Please note that XML files need to be imported into the same reports from where they were
originally exported. goAML helps you in identifying the appropriate files by adding a custom
goAML User Guide

prefix to the file name (e.g. RPU001_for XML Report Upload) and displays only appropriate
files when importing back into goAML.
Note: Working with exported/imported XML files does not manipulate data in the goAML
database. Any potential changes within the XML files are discarded once the report is
reloaded or closed.
4.17 Preview grid data
If you want to print certain transaction reports for analytical purposes, you can click on the

functionality, which enables working with large amounts of data efficiently: The data is then
shown in pages of records. The paging information is shown in the top right corner of the
application window. To use this functionality, the paging option must be turned on before
retrieving the data for a report. For example:
1.

Reports
The main kinds of data reports uploaded into goAML are Cash Transaction Reports (CTR),
Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR), Unusual Transaction Reports (UTR), International
Funds Transfer (IFT) , Cross-Border Report and Additional Information File (AIF).
goAML acts as a central repository to establish and maintain a reports database on the basis of
reports received from reporting entities (banks, casinos, real estate brokers etc.). Banks and
other financial institutions are obliged to furnish information relating to suspicious
transactions of any kind. A transaction is deemed as a suspicious transaction when it:
Gives rise to reasonable ground of suspicion that it may involve the proceeds of crime,
appears to be made in circumstances of unusual or unjustified complexity,
appears to have no economic rationale or bona fide purpose or
gives rise to a reasonable ground of suspicion that it may involve financing of the activities
relating to terrorism.
STRs could either be uploaded into goAML or created manually.
CTR refers to all the Cash Transaction Reports uploaded in the system.
UTR relates to all unusual transactions uploaded in the system. Unusual transactions are cash
transactions, which might be suspicious and thus require some attention. After examination, a
UTR can either be dismissed as unsuspicious or raised to an STR. It is possible for the
reporting institutions to add one or more file attachments and to report a collection of one or
more unusual transactions at the same time. The system treats a file with multiple unusual
transactions as separate reports.
IFT are all transactions where money is sent from one country to a different one (i.e. sending
or receiving money across borders).
AIFs are replies to requests for information (see section 8.4: Request for information), when
the analysts require more details on transactions, involved persons, accounts or entities. AIF
reports are treated like all other report types and can be integrated into goAML using either
the Web front-end or the XML report upload.
The goAML reports component allows users to:




Upload and process reports (see section 5.1: XML report upload)
Search for existing reports (see section 5.2: Lookup report)
Create new reports manually (see section 5.4: Add new report)

XML report upload
This module offers a package of functions around uploaded reports in XML structure. It can
be used for uploading XML reports (in addition to the goAML Web interface; see
section 5.1.1: Handling reports uploaded via the Web interface) and to view the status of all
uploaded reports (see section 5.1.2: Uploading reports via the XML report upload module). In
addition, this module is the place where goAML administrators accept or reject uploaded
reports.

A report uploaded via the goAML Web interface is validated against the schema. If valid, it is
loaded into a temporary database and the status is set to Pending Approval. Alternatively, if it
is invalid, it is rejected and a notification is sent to the entity responsible for uploading the
report.

Analysis
Anti-money laundering investigations are complex processes. The process involves sharing
and analyzing large quantities of financial transactions, related business transactions, related
documents, watch lists, profile reports as well as a wide array of other structured and
unstructured data. The objective is to broaden the scope of the types of data sources available
for intelligence analysis and integrate different types of link support information (LSI) from
one or more sources in order that they can be effectively used for analysis of moneylaundering networks.
With the help of goAML, reports on financial transactions from numerous entities can be
rigorously analysed. These reports contain information on suspicious or large cash financial
transactions, international electronic funds transfers, as well as cross-border movements of
currency and monetary instruments. When goAML determines, on the basis of its analysis of
the trends/patterns of financial transactions of persons and their account activities as well as
money movements of Entity, Account and Person details, that there are reasonable grounds to
suspect its information, it escalates the key information to law enforcement.

It helps creating a group of objects that share some kind of relation, without being aliases of
the same object. For example, we can have a virtual object (VO) combining all possible drug
dealing actors. A parent Virtual Object can have a few virtual objects under it. The name of
the Virtual Object should be unique and the system checks for duplicates.

Click on the icon in the tab’s footer or hit <F2> to add a new transaction. The
below transaction detail screen will appear where all attributes can be filled in
conveniently.
ii.
The attribute From-To transaction switches the type of the transaction from
From-to to Multiparty. A from-to transaction is a transaction type with the
following involved Roles:

Source / Destination Party: Can be either an account or a person

Conductor (optional): A person carrying out the transaction
An example would be a monthly salary payment from the employers account (mapped to a
specific entity) and conducted by an authorized person (Conductor) to the employees
account.
A multiparty transaction is directionless and provides an option to list multiple involved
parties like persons, accounts and entities with the roles they took in the context of the
transaction but without indicating the actual money flow direction as it is done for a
standard From-to transaction.
For providing more detailed information about the parties involved, a role can be assigned
to each entry (like Beneficiary / Recipient, Payee or Conductor). Additionally, involved
items can be set, giving information about the physical object (e.g. real estate, car or
jewellery) that was the cause for the transaction.

consumption of illegal drugs.
In addition to the cases, you can directly add arbitrary persons, entities, accounts, stake
holders, reports, attachments, document requests, intelligence reports and diagrams to the
operation set-up.
In goAML, you can search for existing operations (see section 8.5.1: Find Operation) and edit
them if necessary (see section 8.5.3: New / Edit Operation) and you can create operations from
scratch (see section 8.5.2: Create a new Operation).

The goAML menu Intel holds a number of different advanced functions. In the current
version, this is a query module (see section 10.1: Profiles )), an editor for diagrams (see
section 10.2: Create diagram), a data matcher (see section 10.3: Matching) and an internal
message board (see section 10.4: Message Board).
10.1 Profiles (Queries)
The goAML system offers you extensive search capabilities, based on the available attributes
for persons, accounts, entities and transactions. For instance, you can search by specific
transactions criteria, subjects, address details in various combinations. Based on logical
operators for matching attributes, it is possible to create powerful queries on the goAML
database.
Based on your local configuration, your goAML administrator can provide system-defined
queries which cannot be modified or deleted, but can be utilized as starting points for your
own queries. Each query is a combination of an overall operator (AND, OR) attributes,
conditions and matching values. A query returns a result set of either transactions or parties.
You can create, persist, modify and delete your own queries and you can share them with
other users. However, you have only read access to the other users’ public queries. If you
want to develop them further, you have to create a private of public copy for your purposes.
Running a query performs a search based on the provided attributes, operators and criteria on
the current database content. Please note that the result of a query can be different depending
on the execution time as the underlying data can potentially change.
10.1.1 View existing queries
i. Select IntelProfiles (Queries) from the menu.
ii. The Profile Queries tab is loaded and displays the queries in a tabular form:
iii. The grid shows if the query is Public ( ) or private ( ), the Query Name, the Creator,

) or queries created by
other users as well (
).
v. Click on
to export a list of the currently displayed queries to Excel.

A related context-menu can be invoked on any of the columns to further analyse the
data.
Note: Depending on the configuration, goAML might limit the number of results retrieved.
This shall encourage users to create more precise queries.
10.2 Create diagram
Starting from scratch or starting from a specific goAML object, you can create a custom
diagram to visualize any dependencies between the current and any linked objects in a
convenient and graphical way. Custom interactive diagrams include many predefined types of
nodes, links and basic shapes including text and images. Supporting layers are groups, sub
graphs, scrolling, zooming, selection, drag-and-drop, printing or a palette for draggable nodes.
For example, details of an individual can be linked to other objects from which the
relationship records are established (e.g. owned account, conducted transactions, employer).
Such links can be visualized in order to grasp the logical connections in one glimpse.
Using the embedded charting tool, the information stored in the system are used for analysis
or to identify or display evidence by generating different types of diagrams visualizing any
relations available in the system.
This shall assist the analyst in spotting patterns as well as drilling down into a more detailed
level. Diagrams can be attached to goAML objects (persons, accounts, entities) or business
processes (cases, case proposals, STRs, UTRs, CTRs and the like).
A diagram that has been saved is available for all users that have access to the specific object
and can be modified at any point.

viii. Double-click on an object to add it to the diagram.
ix. Continue to add more objects by using the icon.
10.2.3 Add new objects
It is not necessary to build goAML diagrams exclusively from existing objects (see
section 10.2.2: Add existing objects). You can add as many graphical objects and comments
as you want by using the modelling bar:
i. Drag an item from the modelling bar to the model’s drawing area.
ii. Add a label defining the new modelling object between the angle brackets (< >).
Note: Bear in mind that while these modelling objects add information to the diagram, they
do not contribute to the business intelligence, as there is no relevant data behind them.
10.2.4 Change object positions
i. Select the objects you want to move on the drawing area as follows:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
To select one object, click on it.
To select multiple objects one by one, hold either the <Shift> or the <Ctrl> key down
and click on the objects in succession before releasing the <Shift> or <Ctrl> key.
To select multiple objects in an area, make sure that the Toggle Pan Mode function
( ) is deactivated (see section 10.2.7: The Toolbar functions for details).
Click and hold the mouse button, then drag a rectangle frame around the area you
want to select.
Release the mouse button.
Drag-and-drop the objects to their new positions.
10.2.5 Connect objects
Any two objects on the drawing area can be connected by a connector. This connector is more
than just a graphical representation of a relation, as it has attributes:

10.3 Matching (Match Definitions/Executions)
The Matching module in goAML enables users to compare collected data about persons,
accounts or entities with the existing records in the database and get a report on the matches.
goAML User Guide
Page 158 of 173
10.0 Intel
For being able to use this module, the external data has to be provided in Excel spreadsheets.
However, there is no mandatory structure of such a spreadsheet; goAML can adapt to any
reasonable spreadsheet structure.
Note: Matching is a process in several consecutive steps, of which some require goAML
administration rights. See the goAML Administration Guide for more details.
10.3.1 Define Data Matcher
A data matcher, as the name implies, matches imported external data with the data stock in
the database.
i. Select IntelMatchingData Matchers from the menu. A list of all existing data
matchers in the database is opened in a new tab:
ii. The following information is available:
Matcher Name: The name of the data matcher as defined by the creator.
Disabled: When this checkbox is selected, the matching is not executed, even if an execution
schedule was defined.
Public: The matcher is published for all users.
Object Matched: Shows if the matcher is designed for accounts, entities, persons or virtual
objects.
Corresponding Importer: The matching importer used for this data matcher.
Corresponding Query: If the matching is narrowed down to data matching certain arbitrary
conditions – defined in a query (see section 10.1: Profiles ) – then this query is referenced
here.
System Defined: An activated checkbox indicates a standardized importer coming with
goAML. User-defined importers always have deactivated checkboxes.
Last Run-Time: The date this matcher was last executed.
Last Run Object Count: The number of results returned during the last matching run.
Note: Either adapt an existing matcher to your needs or create one from scratch.
10.3.2 Create New Matcher
i. Click on Define a new matcher ( ). An input window pops up:
goAML User Guide
Page 159 of 173
10.0 Intel
ii. Select the Business Object Type you want to match from the drop-down list (persons,
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
vii.
entities, accounts or any).
Define a (unique) Matcher Name.
Decide if you want to make the matcher Public ( ) or keep it for the active user only
( ).
Select a Profile Query if you want to narrow down the search to certain sets of data,
which match some conditions, before executing the matcher.
Now perform the necessary processing steps, depending on the business object type
chosen (see below for details). Finally:
Save the matcher: Click on Save pending changes ( ) or hit <Ctrl>+S.
10.3.3 Matching an Importer
The following steps are necessary if you have chosen to match persons, entities or accounts.
i. Select one of the available importers from the drop-down list.
Note: Importer as a matching template (refer to the goAML Administration Guide for
details on importers)
ii. The empty field in the lower part of the dialogue window is populated with the
fields/columns defined in the importer.
iii. For every field you want to look for matches between the imported data and the data
stock (e.g. Phone number)
iv. Activate the checkbox Match.
v. Select from the drop-down list whether you want to match the first, middle or last
characters in the field.
goAML User Guide
Page 160 of 173
10.0 Intel
vi. Define the number of characters you want to match in the spinner field.
vii. If you want to match middle characters, determine the first character to start with using
the spinner field Starting from.
viii. The box at the bottom shows the selected matching criteria in pseudo language:
Example:
In the above screenshot, you would be looking for the first three characters of the first name, the
fifth, sixth, and seventh character of the phone number, and the month and year of the birthdate of
a person.
ix. If you want, activate the check box Show Actual Criteria to display the internal syntax
of your matcher instead of the pseudo language description:
x. To remove an unnecessary matching criterion, simply uncheck its checkbox.
Note: When deselecting a matching criterion, its settings remain in place. Therefore you can
restore it if needed by simply rechecking the checkbox.
10.3.4 Matching a watch list
The following steps are necessary if you to want go for the “any (watch list)” business
objects:
i. Select one of the available watch lists from the drop-down list Watch list.
ii. The empty field in the lower part of the dialogue window is populated with the data from
the watch list:
goAML User Guide
Page 161 of 173
10.0 Intel
Note: The “watch list” to virtual objects defined as watch lists (see section 9.4: New
Subjects: New Virtual Object).
10.3.5 Edit Matcher
To edit an already existing matcher (e.g. to adjust the matcher’s parameters):
i. Click on the matcher’s name in the Data Matchers tab. The matcher is loaded and
displayed.
ii. Apply the necessary changes and save them (click on
or hit <Ctrl>+S).
10.3.6 Delete Matcher
To delete an obsolete data matcher from the database:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
Click on the matcher’s name in the Data Matchers tab.
The matcher is loaded and displayed.
Click on “Delete current record” ( ).
The matcher data is deleted.

10.3.7 Schedule and Run Matcher
When a matcher is defined and ready-to-use, you have to schedule its runs. This means that
you have to choose when exactly this matcher will be executed by goAML to return the hits.
i. Click on the matcher’s name in the Data Matchers tab. The matcher is loaded and
displayed.
ii. Click on
to start the matcher manually. The results are retrieved and shown
in an Objects tab in the goAML workspace.
iii. Click on

still run it ad hoc, of course).
iv. Click on
v. Click on
to re-enable the automatic matching runs.
to define a schedule for running the matcher. A support dialogue
window opens:
i.
ii.
iii.
Choose the Recurrence Pattern: Decide whether to run the matcher once only, daily,
weekly, monthly or yearly and, depending on this selection, when exactly (the day of
the month, the weekday etc.).
Determine the Recurrent Range: From which day on the matcher shall be executed
(default: today) and when the execution will be stopped (default: no end date).
Select the Execution Time Span: Determine the earliest and latest time of day when
the matcher shall run (or activate the radio button Disabled if you do not care about
the time of the day).
goAML User Guide
Page 163 of 173
10.0 Intel
Note: The execution time span helps keeping the load factor on the goAML server low. The
scheduler on the server distributes the runs equally according to the preferred execution
times. In the above example, the matcher will run any time between morning and noon.
