Entity Analytics Fields for Other Uses
Entity Analytics fields can support uses beyond Peer Group reporting. You can use Entity Analytics tables for any type of analytical data aggregated to the portfolio level that you must load from an external source. Analytical data is of the type that is loaded for selected dates, not necessarily every day, and must carry a source identifier since certain fields might be supplied by more than one data supplier. For example, data that measures the risk of a portfolio, supplied by a vendor of risk analytics on a periodic basis and pertinent to portfolios rather than to individual securities.
If you do extend Entity Analytics fields to other uses, consult Eagle Global Professional Services to confirm the appropriateness of the use, and to get help with the configuration of tables and field attributes.
