Key Concept: Enabled vs Disabled and Required vs. Non-required Verification checks

Overview

Within a Verification Template, every Verification check can be described as:

• Enabled or disabled
• Required or non-required

Enabled versus disabled

A Verification check that is enabled in an Inquiry Template will run on every Inquiry from that Template.

A Verification check that is disabled in an Inquiry Template will not run on any Inquiry from that Template.

Required versus non-required

Required Verification checks affect whether a Verification attempt passes or fails. Every required check must pass in order for a Verification attempt to pass.

Non-required Verification checks do not affect whether a Verification attempt passes or fails. You can view the results of non-required checks for informational purposes.

How these settings interact

A Verification check must be enabled in order to be required.

A Verification check can be enabled, but non-required. In this scenario, the Verification check provides informational results, but does not affect whether the Verification passes or fails (and subsequently, if contained within an Inquiry Template, whether a specific Inquiry passes or fails).
