A watchlist screening (AML/CFT) is a solution that helps financial institutions and other organizations comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations. This solution allows organizations to search for and identify potential matches against a list of known or suspected individuals and entities involved in money laundering or terrorist financing activities.
If you use a standard filter, data that has no date of birth will not be displayed. With a pseudo filter, you will get data that match with a query or does not have the attributes.
You can set ongoing screening feature if:

PEP
A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) is an individual who holds a prominent public position or has held such a position in the recent past. This can include government officials, high-ranking military officers, heads of state-owned enterprises, and leaders of political parties.
RCA
Relative and Close Associates (RCA) refers to Individuals who are closely related to a Politically Exposed Person (PEP). This can include immediate family members, such as spouses, children, and parents, as well as individuals with close business or personal relationships with the PEP. These individuals are considered high-risk for involvement in money laundering or terrorist financing due to their association with the PEP.
SIP
A Special Interest Person is an individual or entity that, while not necessarily a PEP, possesses a higher risk profile due to their involvement in industries or activities that are susceptible to money laundering or terrorist financing. These could include sectors like gambling, real estate, and non-profit organizations. SIPs are subject to closer scrutiny during AML/CFT procedures.
Sanction
Sanctions are punitive measures imposed by governments, international organizations, or regulatory bodies to deter and punish individuals, entities, or countries that have violated laws, regulations, or international agreements. Sanctions are typically imposed to address specific concerns, such as human rights abuses, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, or support for terrorism.
Watchlist
A watchlist is a database maintained by financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, and regulatory bodies to identify individuals, entities, or organizations that are suspected or confirmed to be involved in money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illicit activities. Watchlists are used to enhance due diligence and screening processes.
