Portfolio Data Center allows you to use the Sources workspace to add and edit sources, feed types and source rules.

A source is any system that either sends data into or receives data from the Eagle's data management solution. You need to create the data source and identify the type of data associated with the data source. A single source can have multiple types of data associated with it. For example, Bloomberg is a source for both Pricing and Security Master data. You need to set up all the vendors as sources in the system before processing the data.
