Recap–PDC assigns a release level to each entity it processes. The release level attained is based on the number of (or lack of) exceptions for specific fields within an entities policy. Fields are assigned a release level and an optional validation.

If all fields of a certain release-level pass validation, the system release the fund to the next level. Release level determination is a hierarchy and is based on the minimum level achieved. Portfolio Data Center tracks and maintains release levels as a code and code values.

  • Code Category Description: Portfolio Data Center Release Levels


Caption to be inserted

Portfolio Data Center is pre-populated with a four-level hierarchy (level 0-level 3). You can alter descriptions and add or remove levels by editing the list of code values.

Best Practices
Make changes during implementation before you process entities within PDC. PDC assigns each fund a release level based on passed or failed validations and the hierarchy in place when the funds are processed. Therefore, do not add or remove levels after production processing occurs.

If you then alter the hierarchy, the funds are now out-of-synch with the release-level hierarchy. To alter the release-level hierarchy in production, you might have to reprocess every fund in the system to resynch. However, before doing so, consult with Eagle. Release levels are a hierarchy with 0 being the lowest.

Therefore, the highest value in the hierarchy (based on the short description of the code value) should always be reserved for released with no exceptions (or a user-defined description of similar meaning). If you modify the hierarchy, you should then log out of PDC, select refresh server cache, and then log in again.

To Maintain

  1. Double-click the code set to launch the edit code value user interface.
  2. To add a level, click the ellipsis in the lower left corner of the grid to enable line item editing
  3. Click the cell area for the column you are editing (no need to enter an update user or time).

Display Options

The summary window enables you to which funds are fully (vs partially) released. Each release level has a corresponding color-coded symbol, as shown in the following figure.


Caption to be inserted

Because you can customize the number of levels of in a release-level hierarchy, you also can customize the level at which the display shows as green. You control this option with a system setting. The default is to show entities with release level 3 as green. To change it, select Portfolio Data Center > Settings > System Settings > setting 1019.

Best Practice
To ensure setting 1019 is set to the number associated with the highest release level number in your hierarchy.
