Entities or individuals to screen in Pascal, should be created as cases. The specifications provided in the case, are used to search the screening categories available in your Pascal environment. Entities should be created as **Business** cases, and individuals should be created as **Person** cases. You can specify this type in the case creation. The **Cases** page provides a table with all cases present in Pascal, they indicate found hits via the **Resolve** column. When unresolved hits are still present for you to review, the indicator will show a resolved percentage of less than 100. ![](https://help.vartion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-16-2026-07-00-57-7239-AM.png?width=670&height=417&name=image-png-Oct-16-2026-07-00-57-7239-AM.png) Cases can, but are not required to, be linked into clients. Allowing you to group cases together which are all related to the same client. The **Client** adds additional functionality useful to your workflow. For example assigning the client to a user who is responsible, adding notes and documents, and storing additional client details. And with the onboarding module, the ability to onboard and (periodically) perform reviews. ![](https://help.vartion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-16-2026-06-58-43-4399-AM.png?width=670&height=417&name=image-png-Oct-16-2026-06-58-43-4399-AM.png) The **Clients** page provides a table with all clients present in Pascal. You can filter this overview with the **Filter** button. In the table information can be presented about the client's review status, resolve progress of all cases linked to the client, risk of the client, assignee, labels linked to the client, and more. ![](https://help.vartion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-16-2026-06-48-52-1247-AM.png?width=670&height=417&name=image-png-Oct-16-2026-06-48-52-1247-AM.png)   **This documentation, including images, videos and text, is accurate as of Version 8.0 of Pascal.** We strive to keep our documentation up to date with each release to ensure it remains a reliable resource for our users.
