Data Dictionary
The Data Dictionary is the space in which you build the structure for the database that will hold all your data properties, Entity related properties, Statistics, Commentaries, Disclaimers, Cultures, etc. It provides a framework for your data architecture. This makes it easier for data to be correctly stored when it is uploaded and to be accurately retrieved when it is called. The Data Dictionary is fully customizable meaning that it can be configured for any type of data as per a business’s needs. Data Dictionary items cannot be deleted, or removed from the system, data therefore must always match the correct structure, and adding new data types is easily achieved.
Access the Data Dictionary by clicking on the System Administration cog.
Disclaimers
Disclaimers are used for creating excerpts or paragraphs of text which will be inserted into a document or website. They can be attached to Approval Groups. Approval groups contain Users with specific roles who have the authority to sign off on wording used in Disclaimers; for example, a Compliance or Legal approval group could sign off on the text for a Fees disclaimer, giving legal approval of wording and information. After a Disclaimer is drafted, it is sent to the appropriate group for approval, a member of the group will then need to sign off on it i.e. accept the text that has been written. This is all done in the Kurtosys App.
Disclaimers can be associated with different entity types: Class, Fund, Account or Benchmark. Fields used for Disclaimers include Discaimer Type, Description and Approval Groups. Not all fields are mandatory.
