# Profiles

> Profile review and alert disposition workflows in the Minerva app

## Profiles For Onboarding And Ongoing Monitoring

The profiles area is where analysts and compliance teams work through profile-level alerts.

* Create or review profiles for customer onboarding.
* Monitor ongoing changes across sanctions, PEP, and adverse media.
* Investigate potential matches and document true-positive or false-positive decisions.
* Use bulk workflows when you need to process larger volumes efficiently.

## Profiles Walkthrough

The screening workflow usually follows this sequence:

1. Open **Profiles** to see clients with active alerts or red flags.
2. Select a client profile to review all previous hits and monitoring activity tied to that person or organization.
3. Open an individual alert to inspect the rich supporting information needed to make a decision, including match details, risk indicators, and source coverage.
4. Update the **profile status** based on your organization's risk appetite and internal policy.
5. Update the **alert status** to disposition the hit, such as true match, false match, unresolved, or no material change.

## What You See In Profiles

The profiles table gives analysts a working queue for onboarding and ongoing monitoring:

* Profiles with no issues remain visible for tracking and auditability.
* Profiles with potential matches show the relevant red-flag categories directly in the table.
* Monitoring state and last screened date make it easy to spot recent activity.
* Profile status helps teams separate routine cases from escalations that need deeper review.

## Reviewing Previous Hits

When you click into a flagged profile, Minerva shows the full history of prior hits for that subject.

* Review current and resolved hits in one place.
* Compare repeated matches over time.
* Use comments and activity history to understand what was decided previously.
* Confirm whether a hit is unchanged, newly escalated, or already resolved.

## Reviewing Rich Match Information

Selecting a potential match opens the detailed decision workspace.

* Compare alternate names, nationality, gender, occupation, and other identifiers.
* Review the risk score and the contributing data sources.
* See whether the alert is driven by sanctions, PEP, adverse media, or a combination of sources.
* Download a PDF report when you need to preserve findings for audit or escalation.

<Note>
  The goal of this screen is not only to show that a match exists, but to provide enough context for a defensible decision. Analysts should be able to explain why a hit was accepted, rejected, or escalated.
</Note>

## Disposition Decisions

There are two related decisions in profiles:

* **Profile status** reflects the overall customer or entity outcome, such as potential match, in review, escalation, accepted, or rejected.
* **Alert status** resolves the specific hit, such as true match, false match, unresolved, or no material change.

<Tip>
  A useful training approach is to teach new users to make the alert-level decision first, then confirm whether the broader profile status should also change.
