TR_Clear_Search_Workflow.pdf

Overview

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for using the CLEAR Person and Business Search (Run CLEAR Search) functionality within Salesforce. These features allow users to perform real-time person and business entity searches directly from Salesforce records, leveraging Thomson Reuters’ authoritative CLEAR data sources to retrieve identity, public record, and risk-related information.

CLEAR Person and Business Search Workflow

1. Log In to Salesforce

➡ Access your Salesforce org with the appropriate credentials.


2. Navigate to the Source Record

Open existing record or create a new one

Open the Salesforce record where TR Clear Search has been configured. In the example below, the feature is set up on the Account object for Business searches, but it can be configured on any standard or custom object.

Review data within Clear component

Within the CLEAR component:

4.1 Review and update auto-filled fields

  • Fields in the search form will be automatically populated using data from the Source Object.

  • You can edit or override these fields as needed.

Note: If you have already run a search on this record, you will see a warning banner at the top:

"You have already run a Clear Search on this record. Click here to view existing results."

Clicking that link will take you directly to your previous results without running a new search.
