Searching

There are a number of different search queries can be constructed by combining various fields and rules such as Keyword, Status, Date Range (Date and Time), and the Operation Type of specification scans.

  • Search by Keyword – is a feature to find out more about the documents for a particular keyword by typing a Name, User, Customer Number, or the Reference Number.
  • Search by High Level Result (HLR) – shows a list of ID information that have the same high level result status as Refer, Expiry, Passed, Not Supported, Not Accepted and Undefined.
  • Search by Date Range – lists the classified ID information performed in a certain range of time.
  • Referral Status – allows you to specifically search the result you have overwritten for a high level result. This simply means you may have overwritten a scan to give a ‘Pass’ on a ‘Refer’ result if you believe should have passed. The options in this criteria: 
    • Not Referred : shows not overridden journeys. 
    • Pending Referral Outcome :  shows the journeys which need to be reviewed by forensic expert after user hits “forensic expert” button. 
    • Referral Complete : shows overridden journeys.

If you click the “Search” button without filling any search criteria, all the documents performed from the beginning of the first capture to the most recent, which are all saved on the same database as shown below:

If the segment parts have a check mark next to it then this means that the particular pattern of an ID card has passed the authentication checks successfully.
  3. Alternatively, an “X mark” is designated when it fails to authenticate the pattern of the ID card. Users are able to see the failed segment`s name alongside its description in this field as well as the actual segment image of the ID of where it has passed or failed.
