In addition, when there is one Total level dictionary for returns data, you can set a dummy 1+ level dictionary for a Blended or Floating custom benchmark to create a custom blended index which combines two benchmarks at the Total level. You can then assign a default dictionary to the custom benchmark for use in the Performance Analysis report. For more information, see Total Level Only Workaround.

• Composite Weighted Returns. You can use a default dictionary if you have a situation where the portfolio constituents have performance data stored with different Dictionary IDs. For more information, see GIPS Composite Management Configuration.
• Composite Analysis. You can set a default dictionary for either Composite, benchmark, or Constituent data in the Composite Analysis report. Use this only if the data is stored using different performance models for the different entity types. For more information, see GIPS Composite Management Configuration.
• Performance Query Tool. When you display one or more time series of returns, market values, and other statistics in the Performance Query Took, if fund and benchmark returns are stored in different models, you can use the default dictionary to retrieve the benchmark returns from a different model. For more information, see the Performance Query Tool User Guide.
