Updated naming conventions
To simplify and increase understanding of Maxsight's terms, we have updated the names of some of our key concepts. You may still encounter our previous terms in some areas, such as reports and developer documentation, but we're actively working on resolving these differences.

Current name | Previous name | Description |
|---|---|---|
Entity | Profile | The companies or individuals going through your assessment processes. |
Assessment | Product/Product application | The process of onboarding entities through a specified workflow. An entity may be going through multiple assessments at the same time. As a result of this terminology change, the possible assessment statuses have been updated as follows:
|
Workflow | Application flow/Smart policy flow | The rules that determine which onboarding tasks are required when assessing an entity. |
External request | Customer request | External requests are sent to ask an external party to complete one or more forms. These forms can be used to gather information or collect required documents. |
