Integration and Role Mapping

1. Map participant roles to transaction roles. This controls which matter participants are imported.

2. Click Exclude from AML for any Participant Roles that never need AML

Tip: If you don't know if a given Participant Role might need AML done, it's better to set a role mapping. If you know that for example Lawyer and Judge will never need to be included in AML, then set the mapping for those to exclude from AML.
