We're happy to announce System Formatters — a new platform capability that makes it easy to keep date, number, and currency formats consistent across every screen. Until now, formatting sometimes had to be configured separately for different modules, which took time, and some platform-wide elements, like the date picker in filters, couldn't pick up those settings. This could lead to situations where the same date appeared as DD/MM/YYYY in one place and MM/DD/YYYY in another, creating unnecessary friction in everyday tasks. System Formatters solve this: an administrator chooses the preferred formats once in the Localization UI, and the entire platform follows those rules. This is especially relevant for US and other non-UK deployments — System Formatters let you align the interface to your regional conventions faster and with broader coverage than before. For details on setup, limitations, and how System Formatters work alongside existing field-level formatting, please refer to the dedicated section in our User Guides. There you'll find a detailed description of the capability, examples with screenshots, and links to relevant documentation.

New and Improved Search Functionality
We’re excited to announce that our new and improved Search capability has now moved to General Availability as of 2.7.7. (this is referred to as Search 2 within our technical documentation). Let’s face it – the current Search experience came out with the first versions of the Quantexa Platform and needed a facelift. Although it did the job, and quite a good one at that, we received feedback from Quantexa users that gave us ideas on how to overhaul the functionality to both keep the UX consistent and to make it a lot more intuitive. Throughout this journey, we also found synergies in the Search setup process by coupling it up with our Data Fusion tool, and making Search a lot faster to set up. By the way, now you can explore our roadmap and give feedback on our features and functionality in our Product Roadmap & Ideas Portal! Be a part of our product development! How we brought Entities front and center From user feedback, we realized that the way users interact with the Search functionality can be improved by bringing more power to search using what Quantexa already knows about entities thereby optimizing the Search query construction. To enable this the Query Building aspects of the Search UI have been redesigned to reframe the search experience around the Entities available in the Platform. This gives the user the power to tell the system what they are looking for (which Entity Type) and then the system offers the most appropriate Data Sources and Search Fields to find the Individual, Business or other Entity the user wishes to search for. Before, the search results could sometimes be not exactly what -the user expected due to incomplete or sub-optimal search configuration. This brings us to our next update – new configuration through Data Fusion! How we simplified Search configuration If you are a Quantexa user, you might be familiar with the Search configuration process which is separate from entity resolution and tuning. What we figured is, if our users are overwhelmingly looking for entities in their searches, why not streamline the search setup up by ‘inheriting’ the settings from Data Fusion, where all the magic happens with entities. To be specific, you no longer manually have to define the search fields and groups yourself as we derive them from Fusion config. So you not only save efforts in setting up a tool, but you also get far better results from reusing the configuration that’s been tuned and tested. We have also improved some existing features: We have updated how our Results Filters work once the user has executed their query. It is now possible to filter using more than one item in the Filter list in the results screen. Additionally, we have improved the Table View of results. How we made Search faster If you are using new Search with our Entity Store then you are able to perform very fast direct Entity Searches even across massive amounts of data. The Entity Store keeps a pre-built version of your resolved entities available at hand, but also updates as soon as there are any changes or new data is introduced, so you get the speed without compromising on the content. How we made de-bugging faster Lastly, it is worth noting that this new version of Search has both re-used existing components within the Platform and is much simpler to support and de-bug than the old version of Search. Together this reduces the overall support burden on Quantexa’s R&D department – you might be thinking this is more of Quantexa benefit, but actually it means we are able to handle support requests faster and free up engineers to work on other enhancements to the Platform. What has been removed? At a fundamental level the new version of Search (known as Search 2 in our technical documentation) has feature parity with the old version of Search (Search 1) plus the new features already explained. However, there are several feature removals that are worth noting: As the Fusion configuration will now drive the search field mappings, there is no need to generate Search Fields anymore, thus we removed the feature altogether. We have removed the support for field boosting as the feature was deemed not useful by our users Facets have been replaced with Aggregations and can be easily migrated from the old Search to the new Search. We have removed the type ahead on Search Fields in the Search Bar as the query-building experience has been re-designed and this feature is no longer necessary. Deprecation and Removal of the old version of Search The old version of Search (Search 1) is deprecated at 2.8.0. We expect to remove the old version of Search from the Platform at the earliest at 2.9.0. All new customers are required to adopt the new version of Search from 2.7.7. onwards.

How do I provide Feedback? We know this is not the end of the improvements necessary to our search capabilities, so expect to make further investments in the medium term. It would be valuable to hear feedback about the new Search results screen and the query editing experience. Please provide feedback directly to the Search initiative using the Product Roadmap & Ideas Portal. Future roadmap For the next 12 months we will not be making major changes to introduce new capabilities to our Search functionality. Our focus will be ensuring that as our existing customers upgrade and adopt this new version of Search and that the experience of migrating from old Search to new Search is as simple, fast and pain-free as possible. I encourage you to get started with the new Search functionality and let us know how you find it!

Welcome to Parsers 4.2 | Release Announcement
Alongside the release of QP2.7, we are happy to share the release of 4.2.0 of Standard Parsers. This release extends the cleansing options you can define purely in config - configurable simple generic cleansers. We have introduced new config-based cleansers that allow you to perform replacements in strings, remove and keep parts of a string based on pre-defined options, change the case of a string for different languages and to extract specific parts of input strings, all without writing any Scala. These back-end config improvements extend to the front-end. The users of QP 2.7 will have access to the extended configurability described above within the UI - more details are available in the release notes and documentation for QP2.7. The release also brings some key bug fixes and a small improvement to business parsing that should catch more edge cases of business names with odd punctuation distributions. For more information on the release features, please see the 4.2.0 release notes and for general info on Parsers, see the documentation.Welcome to Quantexa 2.7 | 2.7.0 Release Announcement

We are pleased to announce the release of Quantexa 2.6. Highlights: Uncover insights in highly-connected data with QKnowledgeGraph [Experimental] Build and query Graphs quickly and easily with the new Graph API [Early Access] Vulnerability Management Configure Explorer through the Quantexa User Interface (UI) Reduce duplication and lighten workload with Mirror Alerting Uncover insights in highly-connected data with QKnowledgeGraph [Experimental] QKnowledgeGraph is a new capability for the analysis of data at scale. It allows the creation of Graphs from the full population of Entities and the application of Perspectives to specify important connections. It is a Python-based component that is now integrated with QPython. Fig: A graphical representation of a highly complex Graph. Why is this important? Knowledge Graph enables Data Scientists to perform Graph analytics, apply algorithms and build Machine Learning (ML) models on Graphs based on the full data which sits behind Quantexa Networks. The output of this analysis could be integrated into the Assess Scoring model as an Entity Score, that will influence Alerting and help to inform the Investigator/Analyst decision. The APIs and Python-based interface of QKnowledgeGraph make it easy for Data Scientists to master the tool. Build and query Graphs quickly and easily with the new Graph API [Early Access] The Graph API enables you to dynamically build and query graphs via a REST interface. You can define the shape of the graph that you want to generate using the Quantexa Scripting Language (QSL) and execute this without needing to define expansion logic in advance. The resulting graph can then be used to create an Investigation, or scored against the Assess scoring model. Why is this important? The new Graph API offers a quick and easy way to derive intelligence from our interconnected view of your data. It enables technical or data science user to build and query our Graphs without defining structure and expansions in advance, and without having to rebuild the application. They are now free to explore ad-hoc analysis of the Graph, enable Network Scoring in a streaming use case, or validate a Graph’s shape for batch Graph Scripting. Avoid critical threats with industry-leading Vulnerability Management From 2.6.0, we will be targeting zero vulnerabilities in every software release. To continue to address the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity threats, minor platform versions will be released on a monthly schedule, containing upgrades to dependent components that will remedy any identified vulnerabilities. In addition, major and minor open-source dependencies have been re-baselined and upgraded across almost our entire tech stack. This makes sure all releases going forward stay free from any critical or high-risk vulnerabilities. Why is this important? Nothing is more important than the security of your data. Historically, our approach to vulnerability management has been to monitor the vulnerabilities in dependencies to ensure that none pose a risk to the platform. While we are happy that this enables us to maintain a secure product, some Information Security processes may require a different approach. We now meet the stringent vulnerability management requirements outlined in NIST 800-53, an industry-leading cybersecurity standard. This grants you and your Information Security team greater control over the vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure. It also consistently resolves all potential vulnerabilities and reduces your total cost of ownership of The Quantexa Platform by eliminating the need for manual review or lengthy exception processes. Configure Explorer through the Quantexa User Interface (UI) Explorer can now be configured directly through the UI. A user with appropriate privileges can configure the schema for a new Document or Entity Explorer type and an instance of it will be generated and auto-populated. They can then configure its display elements: aggregations, document viewer, results table and quick filters, through this instance before saving it and making the new type available to all users. Fig: UI-driven configuration of Explorer Why is this important? This enables less specialised technical users to configure their project's Explorer types, so that they can be easily set up and designed in line with specific use case and user requirements. This contributes to reducing the complexity of configuring the product, therefore reducing time to value and improving your ability to be self-sufficient. Reduce duplication and lighten workload with Mirror Alerting Mirror Alerting is an optional extension to the standard Alerting process that reduces duplicated Alerts, or Mirror Alerts, which may occur when two Alerted Subjects have a relationship and trigger the same scoring logic. Fig: Mirror Alerting Scenario Why is this important? In use cases like Correspondent Banking and Retail AML, relationship scores can cause double counting because both entities get a relationship risk trigger. The Mirror Alerting framework helps to identify the duplicated risks and reduce the volume of alerts the investigators have to process. The flexible logic allows to define the logic for matching Scores and identifying the mirrored risks.
