Using search filters to add an organization
When adding new organizations, you can search for organizations using different filters, such as Unique Organization ID, Organization name, Country, Industry, and Organization type, by entering appropriate values and clicking Search in the top right corner. The definitions of each filter are outlined below.
Search by organization name
The easiest way to begin your search for an organization is by its name. An exact match is not essential. For example, searching for Corporation will return multiple organizations with Corporation in their name as shown below.
Enter the full name of the organization for the best search results.
Search by country
To search by country, you can either scroll down to select a country from the dropdown list or type the country name in the filter. To see your results, click the Search button. For instance, selecting Canada in Country returns the results below.
Understanding ID type and Organization ID to add an organization
The Portal contains powerful search features to help you identify specific organizations. To find organizations using this filter, you must enter both an ID type and the full organization ID. The search button will be disabled otherwise.
Available ID types are as follows:
- LEI - The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a reference code - like a bar code - used across markets and jurisdictions to uniquely identify a legally distinct entity that engages in a financial transaction.
- DUNS number - The Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S Number is a unique nine-digit identifier assigned to a single business entity.
- Ticker - A ticker or stock symbol is an abbreviation used to uniquely identify publicly traded shares of a particular stock on a stock market. Tickers are arrangements of symbols or characters representing specific assets or securities listed on a stock exchange or traded publicly. A stock symbol may consist of letters, numbers, or a combination of both.
- BIC - BIC means Bank Identification Code, or Bank Identifier Code. It is an 8 to 11-character number that is used to identify a specific bank when you make an international transaction.
- ISIN - International Securities Identification Numbers, or ISINs, are the unique 12-digit numbers that are recognized by the International Standards Organization as security identifiers for cross-border securities transactions.
Both these fields must be filled for the filtered search for an organization ID to work. The system will return exact matches only. To search without this filter, click Clear all filters” on the top right.
Search by industry
Search for organizations by industry from a dropdown list or type the industry name in the filter. To see your results, click the Search button. For instance, selecting “Manufacturing” in Industry returns the results below.
Search by Organization Type
Requesters can filter organizations by selecting either Company, Cities, States & Regions or Other as the organization type from the dropdown. To search by organizations, authorities will have to select “Organization Type” and then select “Company”. See example below.
