Abstract
A system for providing background check information to consumers provides a convenient single-document format may include controls and supporting information in adjacent relationship to record groups. Controls may include expandable frequency lists of search criteria, explanatory text, and links. Other controls define feedback forms for customer annotations for independent reports, selective querying of additional data sources, and selectable sorting and filtering of report content. Pattern recognition may be used for alerts and filtering of report content. A system for incremental update reports filters changes intelligently. An authentication process establishes trust by avoiding need for customer to complete entry of sensitive information such as Social Security Number.
