Overview
Ongoing monitoring allows you to track changes to business clients throughout your relationship with them. Monitoring can be enabled automatically for new businesses or manually for existing business clients in Legl.
Before you start
Before enabling ongoing monitoring, ensure that:
You have access to Engage and Business clients in Legl
You have permission to run company reports or sanctions screenings
How to enable ongoing monitoring for business clients
Enable ongoing monitoring for new business clients
Ongoing monitoring is automatically enabled when the first relevant check is completed:
Create a company report for the business client.
Company information monitoring is automatically turned on once the first company report is created.
Run a business sanctions screening.
Sanctions monitoring is automatically turned on once the first sanctions screening is completed.
Once enabled, Legl will begin monitoring the business for relevant changes.
Enable ongoing monitoring for existing business clients
Go to Engage in Legl.
Select Businesses and search for the relevant client.
Open the business client record.
Select the Monitoring tab.
Use the toggles to enable Company information monitoring and/or Sanctions monitoring.
When you enable monitoring for an existing business, Legl will create a new company or sanctions report to ensure no changes were missed while monitoring was off.

Important information
Important:
Ongoing monitoring only begins after the first company report or sanctions screening is completed.
Enabling monitoring for existing clients always creates a new report.
Monitoring updates must be reviewed by a firm user; Legl does not automatically refresh reports unless selected during review.
Re-running a company report as part of a review will incur a charge.
