Flexible Continuing Activity Dates

With the Flexible Continuing Activity Dates feature, you can now separate Monitoring Dates (used to trigger your next SAR generation) from Activity Dates (used to indicate when transactions actually occurred). This prevents disruptions to the 90-day SAR cadence while still allowing precise tracking of transaction activity.

How to Update Monitoring and Activity Dates:

1. Open a Continuing SAR and Locate the Monitoring & Activity Dates:

• Go to section 5. Suspicious Activity
• You’ll see both Monitoring Dates and Activity Dates along with a checkbox labeled “The activity dates match the monitoring period dates.”

2. Understand the Checkbox Behavior:

• By default, this checkbox is checked:
  
  • Monitoring Dates match Activity Dates.
  • The Activity Dates field is disabled (auto-matches Monitoring Dates).

• If you uncheck the box:
  
  • The Activity Dates field becomes editable.
    
  • You can now set separate Monitoring Dates and Activity Dates.

3. Edit Your Dates:

• Monitoring Dates: Controls SAR auto-generation cadence.
• Activity Dates: Tracks the actual transaction window.

4. Save Your Changes:

• Click Save & Validate to apply updates. Monitoring Dates will continue driving SAR generation, while Activity Dates remain for tracking transactions, populating the transaction summary drawer and the generated narrative template.
  
  

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is the checkbox checked by default?
A: Most users don’t need separate date tracking, so this ensures simplicity unless additional flexibility is required.

Q: What happens if I leave the checkbox checked?
A: Monitoring and Activity Dates remain identical. This is the standard behavior for most SAR workflows.

Q: Why uncheck the box?
A: Uncheck only if you need to track a narrower window of transactions while maintaining your standard 90 day monitoring cadence.
