🧠 Summary

This article explains how to configure Variables in Sentinel to personalize detection logic and improve accuracy across monitored scenarios.


πŸ” Use Case

Every organization has unique attributes (e.g., company name, sensitive terms) that, if detected in messages, should trigger higher concern. Variables make detection more contextual and relevant.


πŸ› οΈ Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Access Variables

From the Main Dashboard, select Sentinel then select Variables.

2. Set Organization-Level Variables

You can define the following variables:

  • Company Name – Used to detect self-references in messages

  • Sports Teams – Identify discussions that may relate to gifts and entertainment

  • Restricted List – Terms or topics that are off-limits

  • Watchlist – People, accounts, or companies under scrutiny

3. Save Your Variables

After inputting terms into each field, click Save to apply changes system-wide.


πŸ’‘ Pro Tips

  • Review and update variables quarterly to stay aligned with changing business context.

  • Use consistent formats (e.g., special characters) for reliable detection.
