Entity record filtering techniques
In some implementations, the techniques may include accessing entity data that identifies one or more updates to a set of entity records, and ach entity record may include a plurality of fields. In addition, the techniques may include generating a graphical user interface that displays the plurality of fields. The techniques may include causing the graphical user interface to be displayed on a display device. Moreover, the techniques may include receiving information for identifying a subset of entity records from the set of entity records via the user interface. The information for identifying the subset of entity records may include information identifying one or more fields of the plurality of fields. Also, the techniques may include generating the subset of entity records from the set of entity records. Further, the techniques may include causing the subset of entity records be communicated to a computer system.
