ssGet Overview
The ssGet variable is used to extract information from a number of databases. These include:
- The OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) database
- Watch List Integration third party providers
- U.S. census data
- Janus, SmartSimple’s Machine Learning tool.
The syntax for the ssGet variable varies by the database from which information is being returned.
Configuration - Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
On-request checks can be made against the OFAC's online database within SmartSimple. For example, on an organization profile, a web page view field can be configured that exposes the following check results:
In the above illustration, the OFAC check has returned one 100% match result on the company name, and no results on the attached contacts.
The syntax for configuring the OFAC check is as follows:
- @ssGet(OFAC,entity;;firstname;;lastname;;search options;;roleslist;;meta template;;line template)@
Settings Explained - Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
| Setting | Description |
| Entity | accepts "people", "company" or "all" |
| firstname | an individual's first name or company name |
| lastname | an individual's last name (will be ignored if entity is "company" or "all") |
| search options | accepts "1", "2" or "3"
|
| rolelist | applies if "search options" is set to "2" or "3". Should be in format of comma-delimited role ids or role names (but not ids mixed with names). |
| meta template | Template of how "header" of results will be returned. Default template will be used if empty.
variables that can be used include:
Example: "Search type : [[entity]] , Search for : [[name]], Records returned : [[recordcount]], Date :[[now]]" |
| line template | Template of how "body" of results will be returned. Default template will be used if empty.
variables that can be used include:

In order to run an ad hoc OFAC check on a particular organization record, a Web Page View field must be created within the Organization custom fields. The content of the Web Page View may be configured simiarly to the example shown below:
When using a Web Page View field, you have the option to 'Enable Save to Server' within the field settings. This will allow you to define an upload field on the organization profile where the stored PDF copy of the OFAC results will be saved when triggered.

SmartSimple, in partnership with our Watch List providers (CSI Web or Lexis Nexis) can provide access to more 3rd party services lists than simply the OFAC list, although the client must pay for this service through an agreement with one of the two integrated providers.
Watch List setting are found in Global Settings, under the Integrations tab.
The settings provide people the ability to enter their own billing id and password for the third party service you are utilizing.
When utilizing CSI Web, there are settings within the Integrations tab to defined the watch list you wish to search against, and the scan threshold, which will dictate only being shown results that match or exceed the threshold.
The list of supported 3rd party services with CSI Web includes . . .
- U.S. Bureau Of Industry and Security
- Department of State - Bureau of International Security & *Nonproliferation list
- Department of State - Defense Trade Controls Debarred Parties list
- International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL)
- Politically Exposed Persons, CIA Foreign Officials
- Office of Inspector General
- Excluded Parties List System provided by the General Services Administration (GSA)
- Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
- FinCEN Money Services Business
- World Bank Ineligible Firms
- Terrorist Exclusion List
- FBI Most Wanted Fugitives
To check values stored as text, rather than actual Organization or Contact records then use $$ssGet(...)$$ instead of @ssGet(...)@. The following syntax example includes a list of Board Directors stored as XML data in a field named Board of Directors:
When utilizing Lexis Nexis, the settings for which watch list services will be included, along with threshold settings, will be managed within your Lexis Nexis account and not within SmartSimple.
Returning information from Watchlist
The syntax for configuring the Watch list check is as follows:
- @ssGet(ServiceName,entity;;firstname;;lastname;;search options;;roleslist;;meta template;;line template)@
The ServiceName is dependent on which third party service you are utilizing:
- CSI Web: WatchList
- Lexis Nexis: LexisNexis
The line template portion of the syntax allows you to include unique values and parameters in the scan criteria, such as date of birth or country. These values and the variables that correspond to them are unique to CSI Web and Lexis Nexis and will require reviewing the individual service provider's fields and available options.
