A list of the fields that appear in the Screen Trade Partner page:

Field	Description
Enhanced Match	Allows you to widen your search by including similar results, using a combination of "fuzzy" search algorithms. Select from: Yes - retrieves closely worded results, such as a transposition of two characters; or use of punctuation within a word (such as a hyphen). No - will ignore closely worded results, and only retrieve exactly worded values only.
Phonetic Match	Allows you to widen your search by including results that sound similar. Select from: Yes - retrieves results sounding similar to the field values provided for screening. For example: if the field value is Almori, words such as, Al-Amiri, Almari and Almori are retrieved. No - retrieves results that match the field values exactly. For example: if the field value is Almori, then just the word Almori is retrieved
Match on all Lists	Option to match on all provided list of countries. Yes - Match against all available Denied Party Lists. Yes is selected by default and all available countries are considered for screening. No - The country check boxes are enabled and you can select one or more countries for screening.
Threshold	To minimize the false positives, Tradeflow offers the ability to set a sensitivity threshold for screening. "Points" are assigned based on the likelihood of a hit.
Email Address(es)	Enter your email address if you want the results to be emailed to you. Use commas between additional email addresses.
