Watchlist Sources
Registers the sanction- and watchlist sources the institution screens against (mfi.aml.watchlist.source) - such as UN, OFAC, EU and domestic regulator lists. Each source record tracks its origin, refresh schedule and last-updated date so screening always runs against current data. It is the foundation that the entries and screening engine depend on.

Workflow
- Open Watchlist Sources under Compliance.
- Create a source for each sanctions or PEP list to be screened.
- Set the refresh cadence and import method.
- Trigger or schedule a refresh to pull the latest entries.
- Confirm the last-updated date to prove screening data is current.
