What is TAS Alarmlist?
With TAS Alarmlist, repetitive searches can be automated and an alert could be sent if the search terms in the watchlists created by the user can be found within the content of the company’s data assets.
What data can we search?
Searches can be run on numerous different databases, for example:
- documents within the company own IT system
- content collected from external sources
The searchable database can be continuously and arbitrarily extended with new data sources or with continuous updates. Continuous data collection of web-based contents and thus the expansion of corporate data assets can be solved by our other text analysis solution, TAS Data Collector.
How can we search?
The first thing to do is to create a watchlist of search terms. This can be done on the TAS Alarmlist interface or by uploading a compiled table as a file. Supported file formats: XLS, XLSX, UTF-8 encoded XML, CSV and TSV. These compiled watchlists can be later altered by adding, modifying or deleting the search terms.

It is also decidable in which columns of the list the data to be placed. During the uploading process duplicates are filtered out and not added to the list.
Creating search templates
Any number of search templates can be created using the search terms contained in the watchlist. The available advanced options and search operators can be used to create remarkably complex search templates. The service runs search queries regularly and automatically according to the intervals set and informs the user of the new results in various ways.
Search projects
Separate projects can be created in the TAS Alarmlist interface, each project has its own watchlist. User management settings are available for each project separately. Only Admin users can create a new project, edit its name and description, or delete the project. The Manage Users menu item is also available only Admin users.
Notification options
The system continuously look for a match between the database content and the search terms contained in the compiled watchlist and notifies the user in case of a match. Two notification options are available:
- Rows containing new results are sorted to the top of the result list and an indication is given of how many new hits are related to that certain row.
- For queries with critical importance, an email notification can be set per template, so that the user is notified immediately of a new match.
