The System Management module is only available to users who have responsibility for maintaining master data for “slow moving dimensions”. For example Investment Vehicle or Investor.
Within System Management you can always access the this only documentation, by clicking on “Handbook”

The main parameters which need to be updated on a quarterly basis are the current (last) quarter for which actual data is available for both fund level and asset level. These parameters are manual rather then being calendar based due to the variability of GP publishing schedules. In general the current last quarter parameter should be updated after all reports are finalised and the final snapshot has been run for a given reporting quarter. At this point the final quarter should be “rolled over” to the next quarter (otherwise data for the new quarter will be ignored by the model).

Snapshots
Using the Snapshot function copies all current data in the application to a timestamped read-only version. By switching the snapshot version in any report with this facility the user can “rewind” the portfolio to see values as they were for any previous reporting period.

| Note |
|---|
Latest Data Quarter needs to be the Quarter of the snapshot. |

Clicking the “Take Snapshot” button will launch a background process which takes approximately 1 hour to complete. In the meantime you can continue working. However, until the snapshot process has finished it is important that you do not change any of the system settings or run any version/scenario create or restore as this would result in a faulty or corrupted snapshot. |

The currency maintenance gives you the ability to add additional currencies to the model or to change the reporting currency. A precondition of adding a currency to the model is that the currency must be the local reporting currency of at least one fund/investment.
??? BFO data => needs to be replaced
...
The reporting currency is selected by default in all reports and all KPI calculations and analysis rollups are based on reporting currency.
...
The investor maintenance screen gives you the ability to add (or remove) investors.
??? => GFX not available on Demo, need to be done
| Info |
|---|
An investor must be created before any investment shareholding can be entered. Deleting an investor will also delete all data belonging to the investor, including in saved snapshots. This function should only be used to remove investors that were added in error. |
...
All changes in the model are always performed on the Current version. However, using the scenario functionality allows the user to first back up current assumptions and masterdata and then restore the current assumptions after scenario analysis. Likewise it is possible to prepare different sets of assumptions as a named scenario and replace the current version with the selected scenario and see the impact on the portfolio.
| Info |
|---|
Important Before a new scenario is created, best save the current state of the data as a “base line” the user can always revert to and maintain all the changes since the last snapshot. |
