Compliance levels
A compliance level determines the number of approval levels necessary for a client.
There are four pre-defined compliance levels in Primacy Workplace:
- Not required
- Reduced compliance
- Full compliance
- Enhance due diligence
When setting up a client, you can select one of the pre-determined compliance levels. You may also edit or add to these compliance levels.
To set a custom compliance level

- Under Pick list choices, locate and click ComplianceLevelCode. The Pick list values list below will populate with the available compliance levels options.
- To add your own, click Add pick list value.

- The Pick list value form will appear. The Category will default to ComplianceLevelCode, reflecting the corresponding pick list choice. Enter a Display value (which will become the name of the new compliance level) and Attribute value.
- Click the Active checkbox if you would like to make this new pick list value available in the system.
- In Display order, enter the number that you would like the new compliance level to display in the Pick list values list (the list is sorted by Display order as a default).
- Click Save and close. The form will close and you will be returned to the list. The created compliance level will display in the list based on the Display order number set in the previous step.

Compliance methods
A compliance method is a description of the compliance that will be carried out and is associated with a compliance level. For example, the Full compliance level may have a compliance method of Standard KYC, the No compliance level may have a method of Exempt and the Reduced compliance level may have a method of Eligible introducer letter.
