#### **Viewing Your Current Configuration**

The table that appears on the Sanctions and Watchlists Configuration screen is the Current Configuration table, which displays the active list of sources that your onboarding payees are screened against and that your onboarded payees are monitored.

#### **Finding lists in your configuration**

You can search through your configuration by entering text in the search bar above the table. The search will be performed only on the List Name.

#### **List Details**

 For each list in your configuration, you can view the descriptions and business context by clicking on the **Details** button on the list row. Descriptions may change over time as list sources are updated.

#### **All Available Lists**

This exportable .csv file contains all of the available lists that PaymentWorks supports and that you can add to your screening list configuration. This same file will be used to import your configuration. 

#### **Current List Configuration**

This exportable .csv file contains all of the lists in your current screening list configuration, which should match those lists displayed in the Current List Configuration table on the screen.
