Across the top of Portfolio Data Center window are the application title bar, the Eagle navigator button, and the ribbon. To the left of the workspace, running vertically is the left navigation. Running horizontally at the bottom of the window are the workspace tabs, notification bar, process status, and application version details.
In the middle of all these elements is the workspace area. In PDC, the workspace is divided into three sections; the Search Detail pane, the Entity Summary pane, and the Exceptions pane.

The Portfolio Desk Workspace

| _Toc477180055 |
The Portfolio Desk workspace is the main work area in Portfolio Data Center where you view or modify data. You use the Summary workspace to filter, search, and display summary views of entities of any type. You can review the following data:
- Outstanding exceptions
- Pending authorizations
- Processing status
- Release level
You also can perform the following tasks:
- Attach documents and comments
- Audit manual overrides/changes
- Create new entities
- Edit overrides
- Generate reports
The Portfolio Desk workspace is divided into two sections:
- Search Detail pane
- Summary workspace
Search Detail Pane
The Search Detail pane of the Portfolio Desk enables you to define search criteria for viewing entities. The View By list enables you to determine the type of information to display in the Summary workspace. To specify which type of information to display, select one of the following options:
View By optionsAnchor _Toc477180056 _Toc477180056
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| All | Displays all the available entities information in the Entities pane and all the exceptions that are available in the Exceptions pane as of a given date.
|
| Exceptions | Displays the exclusive list of exceptions by error message. In this case, the Exception pane appears first. You can use this control to determine the outstanding exceptions as of a given date. When you select (highlight) an exception in the Upper grid, the system displays the corresponding entities having those exceptions in the Entity pane. |
By default, the Search Detail pane is displayed in collapsed view mode. Click the chevron

The Summary workspace lists the entity information based on the search criteria. The Summary workspace is divided into two sections:
- Entity pane
- Exception pane
Entity Pane
The Entity pane details the entity information in grid format. You can add additional columns to create a custom view. This is achieved using the System Settings configuration in the Setup workspace. You can temporarily reorder the grid columns using drag and drop. You can also group the grid, by dragging and dropping a column into the grouping area.

You can change the default column order using the Column button in Grid tab. |
The following table lists the default fields that are displayed in the Entity grid.
Column | Description |

Entity ID | Specifies the unique internal identifier of the entity. |
| Engine Status | Specifies the status of the engine processing for history records. |
Rules Entity Name | Specifies the name of the entity. |
| Entity Type | Specifies the type of entity. |
Release Level | Specifies the status (or) fit-for-purpose level of the entity. Portfolio Data Center derives the release level, which varies according to the number and type of validations that have passed or failed. You also can configure the number of release levels. The field displays among the following values:
|
| Account Policy | Specifies the policy that governs the entity. |
| Needs Authorization | Indicates whether the entity has pending authorizations for release. |
| Has Rejections | Indicates the authorization status of the entity, i.e., whether the entity has any rejected authorizations |

| Entity Base Currency | Specifies the base currency for the entity. |
| Entity Fiscal End Date | Specifies the last date of the entity's fiscal year, which the system uses as the ending date range when adding accounting periods. |
| Sector Type | Specifies the sector to which the entity belongs to. This is only applicable in the case of Mutual funds. |
| Entity Update User | Specifies the name of the user who has created/last updated it. |
| Entity Update Date | Specifies the created/last modified date of the entity. |
| Info |
|---|
The 'i' before the field name indicates that the field is an internal field. |
Exceptions Pane
The lower section of the Summary workspace displays the entities that the PDC engine has processed and which contains failed validations and pending authorizations. When you highlight a particular entity in the Entity pane, the system displays the exceptions associated with the selected entity in the Exceptions pane.
