How to add your own data to Pascal

This documentation, including images, videos and text, is accurate as of Version 5.12 of Pascal.

We strive to keep our documentation up to date with each release to ensure it remains a reliable resource for our users. However, given the dynamic nature of our software development, there might be instances where changes introduced in subsequent versions are not immediately reflected in this documentation. We encourage users to refer to the latest release notes and to use the feedback mechanism for any discrepancies or requests for clarification.

Besides the provided datasets in Pascal, you can also add your own data. In circumstances where your organisation has their own dataset that is complementary to the Pascal datasets the option is available to add these to your searches. Only owners and admins can add these entities, but all users will be able to find them in their searches.

If this feature is not available for you, please check if it has been enabled in your services.

Four sources are supported for adding your own data: Sanctions, Enforcements, Politically Exposed Persons, Business: Companies, and Business: Officers. You can create an entity by following these steps:

  1. Click on your initials in the top right corner.
  2. Select Settings besides your Pascal environment's name.
  3. Navigate to the Data directory section.
  4. Press a desired Source.
  5. Click on the Add entry button.
  6. Fill in the required information regarding your entity and press save.
Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk.

An overview of all entities made per source can be found at the same page where you add an entry. All these cases can be found in new cases, but also through monitoring searches in already existing cases.
