Ticker Symbol Import Rules
Sometimes data sources send us invalid, incorrect or obsolete ticker symbols which causes problems when pricing or reconciling positions. You can configure PropReports to automatically modify a security's ticker at the time of upload by creating a rename rule.
Note: When adding a new rule, all existing trades are left unmodified – the rule will be applied to all subsequent uploads. To correct any data that has already been uploaded, see correcting a ticker symbol.
Adding an Import Rule
Step 1: Navigate to the Upload / Ticker Import Rules page.
Step 2: Edit the following fields and click the Add Rule button:
- The vendor or clearing firm the data is uploaded from to import into your PropReports instance.
- The security you would like modified at the time of upload.
- The new symbol you would like to see appear in place of the previous symbol.
