Data consumers – Industry Reports, static reports

Use Case 1: View own static data

  1. On the top menu, hover over the “Static Data” tab and this should bring up a drop down of all the static data tables you have access to.

  2. Click on “Fund”. This will bring up a list of your own funds.

  3. Expand and use the filters to find a fund of your choice.

  4. Click on the hyperlinked fund code to enter the record UI.

  1. The left side menu shows different pages of fields, as well as relationships to the fund.

  2. You may make changes to all the fields that you have access to. These changes will not be applied and published until IA admins have reviewed and approved them.

Use Case 2: run a system report

  1. Hover over “Reports” on the top menu and click on “Industry Reports”

  2. You should see the following screen, with pre-set system report. If you cannot see it, ensure the “Show System Reports” toggle is enabled. The idea is that IA admins can create commonly used report templates.

  3. You can run this report by clicking the 3 dots on the right and click “run”. The status will say “Running” and then “Complete”, at which point the file is downloaded automatically. You may be prompted to allow downloads in your browser

  4. You can also view the report settings by clicking on the report. You may amend the report settings but you will have to copy the report in order to save your changes for future use.

  5. You can also view run history and download a previous run by clicking on the arrow on the right hand side to view run information.

Use Case 3: create and save your own report

  1. Go back to the Industry Reports page

  2. Click “New Report”

  3. Configure your own report settings and filters. Please note that there are certain combinations of settings and filters that have been restricted to prevent unauthorised data disclosure.

  4. Save the report, rename it and run the report. You’ll be able to find all your reports in the “Industry Reports” page.

  5. Please see our Knowledge Base for more information.

Data providers – Data upload, annual static report

Use Case 4: Dynamic data submission

  1. Click on “Upload” on the top menu.

  2. Choose and upload FUM and Transactions files for this month.

  3. There are file name validations to ensure the correct files are selected:

  • The file name must begin with your AFM code

  • The file name must contain the text “FUM” or “Transactions”.

  • The system will read your file to find out the submission period.

  1. You may receive warning messages when some validations have not been passed:

  • Transactions over 20 million will be flagged with a warning, to be checked by IA admins.

  • Any bad data will be flagged.

  1. You can go to “Upload Analytics” to see a dashboard view of the statuses of your submission.

  2. If the data submission has been flagged as failed, you can go into “Upload History”, expand the upload information tray, and click “Download output file” to see what the issues are.

Use Case 5: Dynamic data correction

  1. If an issue has been flagged about your data, you can simply reupload the corrected files on the same “Upload” screen

  2. There will be a confirmation dialogue asking you to confirm you want to archive your previous submission.
