Muting a profile
Last updated: April 7, 2026
Profiles marked as false positives can be muted to prevent any updates to them triggering a monitoring alert. This reduces the alert rate by removing alerts that aren't an accurate match for your customer.
There are two pre-requisites for muting a profile:
The customer must be set to Monitored.
The profile must be marked as False positive.
Note: If the customer's status changes from 'False positive', the profile will be unmuted automatically.

Go to the case list page by clicking Cases in the top left.
Click the case you want to review.

Find the profile you wish to mute and mark it as False Positive.
Click the Mute icon next to the Status field. It looks like a bell.

Confirm your choice in the dialog box. Check the box if you don't want to see this message again.

Muting false positive screening results in bulk
