Why Would I Use the Security Class Custom Import?

• Easily manage your portfolios by assigning Security Classes en masse. Use the Security Class import to add, update, or remove Security Classes across multiple holdings at once. This streamlines data management, reduces manual entry, and ensures consistency across client accounts, allowing you to save time while maintaining accurate and organized portfolios.

What Do I Need to Use the Security Class Custom Import?

The Security Class Method ID and Security Class Code are required for all edits within the import. Only enter additional fields that you want to add or update. Please Note: The Security Class ID is NOT required for the import to create a new Security Class; however, if you need to Edit or Delete an existing Security Class, the ID IS required.

Please Note: This import is only available to advisor-level users. To use the Security Class import, the following privileges must be enabled for your role within the Manage Users app :

• Security Classification read and edit checkboxes  (Located under the Records tab > Products section)

• Security Class  (Located under the Actions tab > Custom Imports section)
  
  

For more information on editing privileges, review the Manage Users: Roles and Privileges article. 

How To Complete and Process the Import

For detailed instructions on how to download, process, and troubleshoot a custom import, review the New Custom Imports Tool section of the How-To and Overview: Custom Imports article.

Review the Security Class Import Guide for examples and an explanation of how to fill out the template. For efficiency, only fill in the applicable columns that need to be updated and leave the remaining columns blank. 

To download the import as an Excel file, click the  button from the preview page within the link.

Troubleshooting Errors

This spreadsheet also includes a troubleshooting sheet that explains each error message and how to resolve them. Please Note: If a row has an error, that field will not update. If a row has a warning, that field will be updated; however, it is best practice to review the warning before processing the import. 
 

• Troubleshooting Error Messages: These messages prevent the import from processing successfully and require correction.
