About Security Tabs

Before you use Reference Data Center, you must enable the security tabs you wish to use in the Edit Security workspace. The Edit Security workspace maintains additional composited security information, such as Analytics, Variable Rates, and Ratings, as well as optional non-composited security information. You must enable tabs for all the types of security detail data you wish to use with any one of your data strategies.
