Add a Group Level Model

In the Adding Group Level Model's Definition tab, you can define the table used to store the group level data in a Data Mart schema.

...

  1. In Reporting Center, from the left navigation, select Reporting Tools > Datamart > Manage Marts > Data Mart.
    You see the Data Mart workspace.
  2. Click Add Group Level Model link.
    You see the Adding Group Level Model window appear with the Definition tab enabled.
  3. Complete the fields on the Definition tab.
  4. Click Next to display the Grouping tab.

The following table describes each option on the Definition tab:

Option

Description

Name

Displays the name of the Group model.
The system automatically creates a name for the model. Eagle recommends keeping this name.

Description

Provides a brief description of the Group model.

Table Name

Assigns a name to the database table that stores group level data. The system prevents you from entering invalid values. Valid table names:

  • Use all capital letters
  • Do not have embedded blanks
  • Begin with a letter
  • Do not use special characters
    Use a maximum of 23 characters

Validate

Ensures the table name is valid.

Archive Table Name

Displays the archive table name, which is based on the value you enter for Table Name. You can change the archive name.

Inception Date

Defaults to the current date. You can change this date to any value for your own tracking purposes.

Active

Indicates whether the table is considered active. This is informational only. Options include:

  • Yes (default). The table is active.
  • No. The table is inactive.
No. of Funds per Report

Allows you to configure the number of funds to run per report at the model level. The current default for this option is at the Data Mart Level

If you set this at Model level, then it applies the same override for all its extensions. But you can override the value at the extension level. 

Enable Look Thru Processing

Sets a group model to build position and performance fields on a look-through basis.

Entity Hierarchy Model

Indicates that the group model is grouped by entity hierarchy fields, and that group structure is all that needs to be built in the table. If you check this box, you do not have to select any fields for the model. This allows you to include entities like indexes in the entity hierarchy structure that do not have any positions or transactions.

Note: However, you do not have to check this box in order to group by entity hierarchy fields. This option only allows you to avoid choosing regular fields for the model when some of the entities to be reported have no values for them.

Entity Hierarchy Model DetailsEnables you to populate detail-level records for group-level models in Data Mart.

Schedule to Run

Determines which schedules are run to populate the table's fields.

Comments

Provides descriptive model information.

...

  1. Complete each field on the Grouping tab.
  2. Click Next to display the Fields tab.

The following table describes each option on the Grouping tab.

Option

Description

Add

Creates a group based on simple fields, range rules, or dictionaries. For details on adding a group, refer to the section  Add a Group to a Group Model.

Remove

Removes a group.

Validate

Indicates whether the group is valid.

Levels

Displays the group by level.

Database Column Name

Displays the group's database column name.

Field Size Override

Controls the maximum column size of a text-type grouping field. Set the width to any value up to the maximum supported for the data type of the Mart table field you are working with.

You can enter a value in this column for any text field that is at least as great as the default value, subject to table column sizes supported by your database. Note that once you have built data for the group-level model, you cannot change the field size settings.

Field Description Override

Controls the display of Grouping fields in View Mart Data and Portal. Enter a name unique to the model in this column.
Once the model is built, the View Mart Data displays the groups with the override name you entered.

You can change the override grouping description after the model is built. If you change the name, the new name appears the next time you view data from View Data Mart.

...

  1. Complete each field on the Fields tab.
  2. Click Next to display the Fields Schedule tab.

The following table describes each option on the Fields tab.

Option

Description

Map Performance Model

Maps a performance dictionary to the model to enable the model to contain performance fields. This option is only available if you did not select a performance dictionary when you defined your group levels on the Grouping tab.

Only performance dictionaries with the same number of levels as the group model are available for selection.

Note: If you are using dynamic performance, you do not have to select a performance dictionary and map performance fields in your model to that performance dictionary.

Clear

Removes a performance dictionary and uses dynamic performance to report returns and related performance information.

Dynamic performance involves setting up special field attributes that allow pre-existing security level returns to be aggregated and linked on demand. Refer to the Eagle Performance Reporting User Guide for additional details.

Add

Adds fields to the Group model. For details, refer to Add Fields to a Group Model.

Remove

Removes fields from the Group model.

Modify

Changes the field attribute linked to a field in the Group model. You cannot change the field's database name. You can only select from field attributes with the same data type.

Validate

Validates whether a field is valid. Data Mart displays a red X in the check box next to an invalid field.

Description

Displays the selected field attribute.

Database Column Name

Specifies the name of the database column you have assigned to the field.

Field Size Override

Controls the maximum column size of a text field. Set the width to any value up to the maximum supported by your database for the data type of the Mart table field.

Field Description Override

Specifies a user friendly name for the field attribute when viewing Mart content using View Mart Data. This field is optional. If you do not enter a value, Data Mart displays the field attribute name in View Mart Data.

ID

Displays a unique identifier of the Data Mart field. The system automatically assigns a value to this field based upon the field attribute ID of the underlying field attribute. However, it is a best practice to override this value with an ID that is unique and meaningful to you. The reason is that when you migrate the model from one environment to another, fields with the default ID value may conflict with others in the target environment.

Type

Displays the subject type of the field, such as performance.

Map Performance Model

Maps a performance dictionary to the model to enable the model to contain performance fields. This option is only available if you did not select a performance dictionary when you defined your group levels on the Grouping tab.

Only performance dictionaries with the same number of levels as the group model are available for selection.

Note: If you are using dynamic performance, you do not have to select a performance dictionary and map performance fields in your model to that performance dictionary.
