Across the top of Portfolio Data Center window are the application title bar, the Eagle navigator button, and the ribbon. To the left of the workspace, running vertically is the left navigation. Running horizontally at the bottom of the window are the workspace tabs, notification bar, process status, and application version details.

In the middle of all these elements is the workspace area. In PDC, the workspace is divided into three sections; the Search Detail pane, the Entity Summary pane, and the Exceptions pane.

For additional information on managing workspace searches, navigating in Eagle, and using the ribbon, see Getting Started with Eagle.

Understand the Ribbon

The ribbon provides you with a set of tools organized under tabs. By default, the Portfolio Data Center opens with Summary workspace with Home tab enabled.

Tabs and options become active in the context of activity on the screen. Icons on the ribbon are dimmed when the function is not operational.

The Portfolio Desk Workspace

The Portfolio Desk workspace is the main work area in Portfolio Data Center where you view or modify data. You use the Summary workspace to filter, search, and display summary views of entities of any type. You can review the following data:

Outstanding exceptions
Pending authorizations
Processing status
Release level

You also can perform the following tasks:

Attach documents and comments
Audit manual overrides/changes
Create new entities
Edit overrides
Generate reports

The Portfolio Desk workspace is divided into two sections:

Search Detail pane
Summary workspace

Search Detail Pane

The Search Detail pane of the Portfolio Desk enables you to define search criteria for viewing entities. The View By list enables you to determine the type of information to display in the Summary workspace. To specify which type of information to display, select one of the following options:

View By options

Option

Description

All

Displays all the available entities information in the Entities pane and all the exceptions that are available in the Exceptions pane as of a given date.

The Entity pane displays the core information about the entities depending on the fields that have been configured to include in the grid. You can use this option to search for a specific entity (or group of entities) in order to perform entity-specific analysis. When you select (highlight) an entity, the system displays the corresponding exceptions (if available) for the entity in the Exception pane.

Exceptions

Displays the exclusive list of exceptions by error message.

In this case, the Exception pane appears first. You can use this control to determine the outstanding exceptions as of a given date. When you select (highlight) an exception in the Upper grid, the system displays the corresponding entities having those exceptions in the Entity pane.

By default, the Search Detail pane is displayed in collapsed view mode. Click the chevron at the far right corner of the title bar to expand the section. The Search Detail pane allows you to perform the following actions:

To create a new search criteria
To rerun the last search criteria
To run any saved searches
To enable an option that would prevent the Search grid from auto-closing after executing a search criteria.

Summary Workspace

The Summary workspace lists the entity information based on the search criteria. The Summary workspace is divided into two sections:

Entity pane
Exception pane

Entity Pane

The Entity pane details the entity information in grid format. You can add additional columns to create a custom view. This is achieved using the System Settings configuration in the Setup workspace. You can temporarily reorder the grid columns using drag and drop. You can also group the grid, by dragging and dropping a column into the grouping area.

You can change the default column order using the Column button in Grid tab.

The following table lists the default fields that are displayed in the Entity grid.

Column	Description
Effective Date	Specifies the most recent effective date of the entity
Entity ID	Specifies the unique internal identifier of the entity.
Engine Status	Specifies the status of the engine processing for history records.
Rules Entity Name	Specifies the name of the entity.
Entity Type	Specifies the type of entity.
Release Level	Specifies the status (or) fit-for-purpose level of the entity. Portfolio Data Center derives the release level, which varies according to the number and type of validations that have passed or failed. You also can configure the number of release levels. The field displays among the following values: Not Released (Level 0) The entity has one or more exceptions at level 0. Released for Level 1 Activity The entity has passed all Level 1 edit checks. Released for Level 2 Activity The entity has passed all Level 1 and Level 2 edit checks. Released for Level 3 Activity The entity has passed all Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 edit checks and is eligible for use by downstream systems.
Account Policy	Specifies the policy that governs the entity.
Needs Authorization	Indicates whether the entity has pending authorizations for release.
Has Rejections	Indicates the authorization status of the entity, i.e., whether the entity has any rejected authorizations
Entity Inception Date	Specifies the date the entity was created in the marketplace. Eagle's Performance solution uses this information. You cannot edit this field after you create the entity.
Entity Base Currency	Specifies the base currency for the entity.
Entity Fiscal End Date	Specifies the last date of the entity's fiscal year, which the system uses as the ending date range when adding accounting periods.
Sector Type	Specifies the sector to which the entity belongs to. This is only applicable in the case of Mutual funds.
Entity Update User	Specifies the name of the user who has created/last updated it.
Entity Update Date	Specifies the created/last modified date of the entity.

The 'i' before the field name indicates that the field is an internal field.

Exceptions Pane

The lower section of the Summary workspace displays the entities that the PDC engine has processed and which contains failed validations and pending authorizations. When you highlight a particular entity in the Entity pane, the system displays the exceptions associated with the selected entity in the Exceptions pane. In the title bar, the total number of exception records that are available for the entity is displayed.

The following table lists the default fields that are displayed in the Exception grid.

Column	Description
Field	Displays the name of the field for which failed validations/pending authorizations has occurred.
Code	Displays the error code of the validation.
Effective Date	Specifies the effective date for which the error has occurred.
Status	Provides the status of the exception.
Severity	Indicates the severity level of the exception: Warning Critical
Error	Displays the validation error description.
Business Description	Displays the business description provided for the error.
Resolution	Provides the solution to the error.
Assigned To	Provides the name of the Business group to which the exception/authorization is assigned to.
