Event Monitoring: Requesting a New Entity

We’ve streamlined the process for adding new entities to your company’s universe(s). When searching for an entity, if it is not available, a new prompt to request it will appear. When you click on the prompt, a form will open, allowing you to submit the request directly to the SESAMm team.

Open Search: ESG Subrisks

The predefined themes in Open Search now allow you to dive down into the subrisk level, enabling even more targeted analyses and insights.

Open Search: Influential Sources Filter

A new filter lets users focus on authoritative sources by accessing results exclusively from a curated list of top-tier influential news sources, streamlining due diligence efforts.

Open Search: Adaptive Search Guidance

If you search for an entity in Open Search, but no data is found, this new feature helps you make the search less restrictive.

  • Manual Adjustment: The user will be prompted to expand the search setting from “title-only” to “title and text” or to expand the search date range.
  • Automatic Expansion: The “Expand Your Search Automatically” option broadens the data range and automatically adjusts the “keyword search scope” to include both title and text.
