You can use the Setup workspace in Reference Data Center to add, edit, and delete code values used to validate composited and non-composited fields. See "Manage Field Attributes" for details on assigning a code category for field validation. Code values are discrete lists of approved field values organized by code category. When you assign a code category to a field for validation, the reference data value must match a code value listed in the code category or an exception is raised.
Code values are also used by Reference Data Center to populate drop down lists for queries. For example, the code category RDC_REL_LEVELS is used to populate the Release Level drop down list displayed for the Security Summary query, as shown below:

•  NOT RELEASED
•  RELEASED FOR TRADING
•  RELEASED FOR TRADING AND BACK OFFICE
•  RELEASED WITH NO EXCEPTIONS

You can use the Setup workspace in Reference Data Center to add, view, and edit date rules. Date rules determine the date (or date range) that filters data used for an associated process.

Date Rule Example

You can use date rules for processing data strategies for time-sensitive reference data types such as Schedules. You can also use date rules to control when vendor data is consider too stale for composite use.
For example, assume that you are processing composited securities for an effective date of 1/1/2013 and wish to exclude vendor data that is more than 35 days old. You can assign a date rule to the data strategy that calculates the relative date 11/27/2012 and then blocks all data older than 11/27/2012 from the 1/1/2013 compositing process. In effect, only the most recent vendor data within the calculated 35-day window is composited and all older vendor data is ignored.
