Adding and Removing Unique Identities

 

To view and manage your Unique Identity Include List (a section of your Personal Information File) and add or remove personal information, click the "Add/Remove Information" button on the "What to Search for" ribbon.

 

To add a unique identity, select the Identity Match Type from the Add an Identity drop down box.  Then enter your personal information in the field to its right.  Below this field is an example of the acceptable syntax for this identity.  It is important for you to use the correct syntax so that Identity Finder can convert your identity into numerous formats for searching.  Once you have entered the appropriate identity information, click the "Add" button and it will appear in the Unique Identity Include List.

 

 

To remove an identity or multiple identities, highlight them and click the "Remove" button.  The "Remove All" button clears the entire list.

 

If you make changes and want to Save your list for future sessions, click the "Save" button.  Otherwise click OK.  You may be prompted to provide a password if you are saving a new list.

 

If Identity Finder did not automatically load your Personal Information File when it started, you can load it now by clicking the "Load" button.  You will be prompted for your password.

 

After you click OK, the ribbon button for the identity type(s) you included in the "Search with Unique Personal Information You Include" group on the What to Search For tab will be highlighted orange:

 

 

When these button(s) are highlighted, Identity Finder will search for that identity type.  If you do not want Identity Finder to search for that identity type for a specific search, but wish to leave the information in your Unique Identity Include List, then click the button to remove the orange highlight.

 

Remember you must Enable Worldwide Searching to be able to add unique identities for Worldwide identity types.
