An entity list is a collection of entities that you group together for scheduling purposes. There are two types of entity lists: static and dynamic. A static list can contain any number of portfolios that may or may not have common characteristics. A static list does not change unless you manually add or delete an entity from a list. A dynamic list is linked through a common characteristic. It may change over time, depending upon the underlying entity characteristics.

To set up an entity list, create the list and add entities to the list.

Add Static Entity Lists

In the Add Entity List panel, you can add a static entity list.

To add a static entity list:

  1. From any Eagle window, click the Eagle Navigator button to access the Eagle Navigator.
  2. Enter Add Entity List in the Start Search text box.
  3. Click the Add Entity List link to access the panel.
    You see the Add Entity List panel. The Entity Type field displays a value of LIST to identify the type of entity you are adding.
  4. In the Entity Name field, specify the name of the entity list.
  5. In the Generate Dummy Entity ID field, indicate whether the system generates a unique entity identifier for the entity.
    Options include No (Default) and Yes. Before you use this field for the first time, you must perform the following one-time setup. In the NEXT_INSTANCE table in the PACE_MASTER database, make an entry for ENTITY_ID.
  6. In the Entity ID field, specify the unique identifier for the entity list.
    This value must not contain any blank spaces.
  7. In the Transaction Status field, select the default value of Traded to specify the status of the cash event for the entity list.
  8. In the Active Status field, identify the entity list as active or inactive.
    This field is used for reporting purposes only. Options include Active (Default) and Inactive.
  9. In the Entity Partition Assignment field, specify the segment of the database where you store the entity list transactions.
    Entity partitioning is used for strategic high volume clients that require partitioning of the ESTAR database schema. Eagle clients that do not use partitioning can use the default value of 1.
  10. Click Submit.
  11. Close the Add Entity List bottom tab.
