Change Fund Characteristics as of a Future Date

To change fund characteristics as of a future date:

1. In Portfolio Data Center workspace, click Portfolio Desk in the left navigation.
   The Entities workspace opens, displaying the available entities (depending on any default filters that are in effect).
2. Search for your entity using either saved searches or specify the relevant filter criteria and then click Search.
   The system displays the search results based on the criteria you selected.
3. Select the entity you want to modify and then double-click it to open the details.
   By default, the system launches entities details in current mode. You can see and edit the most current history date. For reference purposes, you also can see the second most recent history record, but it is grayed out for editing.
4. In the fund details panel, to enable history mode, click the Show Historical Data option.
   History mode enables you to complete following tasks:
   • View and edit historic records for a fund.
   • Bulk-edit a field across multiple effective dates.
   • Duplicate an existing historic imprint to a new date.
5. Create a new record for the change date. Hover over any field in the most recent {}* history record and right-click Duplicate then assign the date when the change becomes effective.
   The details window shows an uncommitted imprint for the chosen date in blue font. *{}Assumes that the future-dated record (before editing) should have the same values as the most recent record.

6. Scroll to the field that is changing. To edit a field, click the value to open the editing window and edit the following fields:

   Value	Status
   New value	Required
   Start date	Required; should be the date for which the change is effective
   End date	Optional
   Reason code	Optional preset reason codes from code list
   Comment	Optional user-defined text

7. To save the edits, click Save.
   If necessary, continue to make field-level edits, saving each change along the way.
   Note that saving the field-level changes does not automatically apply the changes.
8. Click View and Submit in the lower right corner of the details window.
   A grid opens, enabling you to review the changes you are about to submit for processing.
9. To submit the changes, click Submit Changes.
   PDC creates a record for the recently requested effective date.
10. To cancel the changes, return to the details window and then click Cancel.
