   2. If more than one language is defined for the selected project’s template, and the “Separate outputs for each language” option is selected for the template, use the “Language” drop-down list at upper-left of the page to specify the language whose captions/content you’d like to view.

      If the project template’s “Multi-Language Behavior” setting is set to “Use translated content from import file”, each non-default language in the drop-down list will display an icon at its right () to denote the ability to import translated content for that language.

4. Select the “Statement” (topmost) node in the tree structure at left of the page (or the specific chapter or section for which you wish to generate output).

5. Click the “Output Management” tab.

   The upper portion of the tab offers output options for the project (when the project node is selected in the tree view) or the selected chapter or section.

   

6. If the project’s template allows for the use of predefined renditions to produce output, you may specify the desired rendition in the “Output Rendition” drop-down list.

   • Available selections include all renditions designated as “active” in association with the assigned style sheet, via the Renditions library.
   • All other controls on the tab will be disabled when an “Output Rendition” is specified, and the output options and other settings defined in the rendition will be used for output.
   • If the specified rendition selection represents an “Output Document Type” of “EDGAR (HTML)”, “Source” and “Revision cycle” controls display beneath the “Output Rendition” drop-down list.
   • If the specified rendition selection represents any “Output Blackline Type”, “From revision” and “To revision” controls display beneath the “Output Rendition” drop-down list.

7. If you’re not using a predefined rendition for output, sSpecify the “Output Document Type(s)” you wish to generate by selecting the appropriate check box(es).

   • Available document types for output will vary, depending on the settings specified for the project’s template via the “Output Management” tab of the “Project Templates” page.
   • If “N-MFP (XML)” is specified as one of the output types, an N-MFP Review Report is also generated by default. This report allows for the review of N-MFP data in a “friendly” Excel format prior to submission of the XML filing to the SEC, and can be viewed/saved via the revisions grid in the lower portion of the tab, or via the Output Queue.
   • If “EDGAR (HTML)” is specified as the output type, “Source” and “Revision cycle” controls display and all other options on the tab are disabled except the “Publish” button.

   You can use the “Select all” or “Clear all” links to quickly select/clear the check boxes.

8. If you’re not using a predefined rendition for output, and if your project’s template allows for PDF document output, you may specify one or more additional output types in the corresponding sections of the tab.

   1. For project-level output, you may select the “PDF to PDF Compare” check box and designate revision versions to compare. This type of comparison will highlight changes to the entire document, including the movement of content from one place to another, and differences in header or footer text.

      

      • This option is only available for project-level PDF document output.
      • The “From revision” drop-down list value defaults to the highest “Revision” value currently displayed in the revision grid for the current project.
      • The “To revision” drop-down list value defaults to the lowest “Revision” value currently displayed in the revision grid for the current project.
      • In order for any two revision versions to be compared and blacklined, PDF output must have been previously generated for each.

   2. You may specify any “Output Blackline Types” you wish to generate by selecting the appropriate check box(es) and designating the revision versions to compare. Output blacklining deals only with differences in document values (e.g., information involved in SEC audits); not with changes that may exist in document headers and footers, etc..

      

      • The “From revision” drop-down list value defaults to the highest “Revision” value currently displayed in the revision grid for the current project (or for the selected chapter/section in the current project).

      • The “To revision” drop-down list value defaults to the lowest “Revision” value currently displayed in the revision grid for the current project (or for the selected chapter/section in the current project).

        • By selecting the “Other” option button, you can opt to blackline against any revision in any project associated with the complex of the current project, for a specified account period.
      • In order for any two revision versions to be compared and blacklined, PDF output must have been previously generated for each.

      You can use the “Select all” or “Clear all” links to quickly select/clear the check boxes.

9. If you’re not using a predefined rendition for output, and if your project’s template allows for at least one type of document output (any), you may produce project-level output validation reports via the corresponding section of the tab.

   

   1. You may select the “Missing Output Settings Report (Excel)” check box to generate a report that lists line items in the current project’s financial and/or portfolio statements for which no output settings are specified.

   2. You may select the “Project Output Validation Report (Excel)” check box to generate a report that lists line items of type “Total” and “TotalCalcSheetSection” in the current project’s financial and/or portfolio statements whose respective output values do not equal the system’s corresponding calculated values.

      1. For financial statements using custom “Project Output Validation Report Settings”, the report also lists lines specified as a “Statement total to check”. The values compared in this case are those of the designated “Statement total to check” line and the calculated result of its corresponding “Statement items to sum” lines.

         • If a given “Project Output Validation Report Settings” section is blank, it is ignored.
         • If a given “Project Output Validation Report Settings” section has a “Statement total to check” specified, but no “Statement items to sum” values, it is not ignored; the report logic can’t find items to sum, an error is displayed in the report.
         • If a “Project Output Validation Report Settings” section has “Statement items to sum” values, but no “Statement total to check” specified, it is ignored.

   • Validation reports are only available for project-level output.
   • All report requests will only return to the Output Queue; the requests will not be stored as part of the project on the “Output Management” tab.
   • You may generate an output validation report whether or not any “Output Document Types” check boxes are selected.

10. If you’re not using a predefined rendition for output, and if your project’s template allows for PDF and/or Word document output, you may specify one or more output options in the corresponding section of the tab.

    

    1. For PDF document output, you may select the “Include Bannerline” check box in order to display bannerline information in the resulting output document(s).
    2. For PDF document output, you may select the “Hide Bleeds” check box in order to produce an output document that does not contain visible bleeds.

    3. For PDF and/or Word document output, you may select the “Highlight Variable Data Points” check box in order to display variable data points in a red font color in the resulting output document(s).

       A variable data point is content that is added to a project component by either of the following means:

       • Direct reference via the “Data Point” button on the “Text Libraries”, “Footnote Libraries - General Ledger” or “Footnote Libraries - Holdings” pages.
       • Defined via the “Custom Data Point Libraries” page, and referenced from settings on the “Financial Workbook Templates” or “Portfolio Statement Templates” pages.
       • This feature does not currently support variable data points within tabular data templates.
       • This feature will only highlight variable data point text in red if the associated output template has been configured to do so. It is advised that you speak to your local DFIN representative to ensure these updates have been made prior to attempting to use the functionality.

    4. For PDF and/or Word document output, you may select the “Generate Translation XML (simple)” check box in order to generate an XML file (in addition to the PDF and/or Word output) that can be downloaded via the revision grid and be used for content translation purposes. Once the resulting file has been edited, you can re-imported it via the “Administration” tab for a given language.

       For information on how to import translated content, see the “Importing translated content for project components” task.

11. Click the “Publish” button at left of the tab.

    Once the output request has been submitted to the document processing service, a Please Note message displays to indicate that you may go to the Output Queue to check the request’s status.

12. Click the “OK” button.

1. To view project output or a report returned from the document processing service, or the status of filings submitted to the SEC, open the Output Queue by clicking the “Output Queue” button at far upper-right of the screen.

   The “Output Queue” pane displays.

   

2. Filter the list of items in the queue, if desired, through use of the “Show previous” and/or “Status” drop-down lists.

        • Change the complex. Changing the complex resets the group, and you’ll need to return to Step 3 above.
        • Change the group. Changing the group resets the fund, and you’ll need to return to Step 4 above.
        • Change the fund. Changing the fund refreshes the data for all open pages.
        • Reset the fund selection bar. Click the “Reset” button at any time to return to Step 1 above.

      • Using the selection button

        1. Click the selection button at upper-left of the window.

           All open account periods associated with a project, and to which you have access, are displayed.

           

           If an account period has already been specified via the fund selection bar (see above), the list under the fund selection button automatically expands that date.

           

        2. Click the arrow at left of the desired account period to display the available complex(es) and associated fund group(s) and fund(s).
        3. Specify the “Complex”, “Fund Group” and “Fund” relevant to the project you wish to view.

3. Click the “Fund Holdings” item.

   The “Fund Holdings” page displays, which provides the relevant financial data for each security held by the selected fund.

   

   To modify a value, simply type in the corresponding field or click the relevant field link.

   You must save information before navigating between tabs.

   • You can filter the holdings that display in the grid by balance type, language and account period using the corresponding controls in the section at the top of the page.

   • The column headers in the grid are color coded, based on the type of data contained in each.

     • Blue - Fields with this coloration (e.g., “Caption”, “Description 1”, “Maturity Date”, etc.) are associated with the security library, and their values are common across the library. Changes can be made to these fields from the “Fund Holdings” or “Security Libraries” pages. Changes to these fields will impact all funds assigned to the same security library.

     • Red - The only field with this coloration is “Item C.1 - Name of the Issuer”“Issuer Caption”. It is common across all funds using the same issuer caption library. The field value can only be changed on the “Issuer Library” page. The “Fund Holdings” page allows you to update the “Issuer” assignment only.

       The “Issuer” assignment syncing is based on the “Security Library” assignment, not the “Issuer Library”.

     • Orange - Fields with this coloration (e.g., “Category of Investment”, “Country”, “Sector”, etc.) are associated with the category library, and their values are common across the library. Changes to “Category” assignment can be made on the “Fund Holdings” page. Changes to the “Category” assignment will impact all funds assigned to that particular category library. Changes to the category captions can be made on the “Category Libraries” page only. Changes made to captions will impact all funds assigned to that library.
     • (shaded) - Fields whose header is shaded with a gray gradient are associated with either the Security/Investment Master library (e.g., “Master Identifier”, etc.) or the Issuer Master library (“Issuer CIK”), and are common across the database. Changes to their values can only be made on the “Security/Investment Master” or “Issuer Master” pages, respectively, or updated during data load. Changes to these fields impact all funds across the database. Columns containing system calculations (e.g., “% of Net Assets”, “% of par”, etc.) are also read-only on the “Fund Holdings” page.
     • (no coloration) - Fields whose header has no shading nor coloration at all (e.g., “Shares”, “Market Value”, “Cost”, etc.) contain security balance data, and are unique to the specified fund, account period and balance instance. Changes made to these fields never impact nor synchronize with any other instance of the security.
   • Click the “Refresh data” button at lower-right of the tab to display the latest holdings data contained in the database.
4. Click the “View” drop-down list at the top of the page to specify the system or custom view with which you will display existing data in the grid of the “Holdings” tab.
5. Click the “Search” button at right of the “Search Criteria” section to load existing data in the grid.

6. Click the “Save” button at lower-right of the page if any updates were made.

You can sort, group and filter information in a grid through various means in order to find what you’re looking for more easily.

Grid Management

1. Filtering: You can filter the items presented in a grid by using the “Filter” buttons at the top of any column.

   1. To remove any particular column filter, click the “Filter” button at the top of that column, and then click the “Clear Filter” button on the filter criteria dialogue that displays.

   2. To remove all column filters for the grid at once, click the “Clear all filters” button at upper-left of the grid.

      The “Clear all filters” button is not available on all Arc Suite grids.

      • The “Clear all filters” button is not available on all Arc Suite grids.
      • Column filtering only affects the rows that have been loaded in the grid. If grid pagination functionality is enabled for the “Holdings” tab of the “Fund Holdings” page (via the “FundHoldingsGridPagination” system setting), be sure all available rows have been loaded if you expect column filtering to affect all securities in the data set.
2. Sorting: You can sort items in a grid by clicking any column header. Once sorted, the column header will change color and indicate whether the list is sorted in ascending or descending order.

3. Grouping: In some grids, the items can be grouped in the display by selecting a column header, and then dragging it into the “Grouped by” area of a grid.

   1. To expand or collapse a grouping, click the buttons, respectively, at left of the grouping row in the grid.

   2. To remove a grouping, hover your cursor over the grouping box, and then click the “Remove” button that displays on its right.

      

4. Grid Splitting: Grids feature a vertical splitter bar, which you can grab and move over the line dividing any two columns. As you scroll horizontally to see more columns of data, the columns to the left of the splitter bar are “frozen” in view.

5. Pagination: Some grids feature a “Rows Per Page” spinner control at lower-left, which you can use to specify the maximum number of records/rows to display in the grid at once. If the number of records in the database meeting the specified criteria exceeds the specified “Rows Per Page” value, a set of navigation controls at lower-right of the grid is enabled to allow access to the records in successive grid “pages”.

   If grid pagination functionality is enabled for the “Holdings” tab of the “Fund Holdings” page (via the “FundHoldingsGridPagination” system setting), the value specified for the associated “FundHoldingsGridPageSize” setting will determine the upper limit of the “Rows Per Page” spinner control, as well as how many rows are loaded at once to the grid.

6. Field Selection: You can also specify which columns of data to show in the current grid. You can choose from one or more “standard” views of the grid, or you can create and save your own custom views.

   1. Choosing a View. Using the “View” selection drop-down list associated with the grid, you can switch between custom views and standard views.

   2. Creating a Custom View. You can leverage the standard views or existing custom views as starting points to create new custom views (standard views cannot be edited).

      1. Choose a view that most closely resembles the view you’d like to create.

      2. Select “Save View As...” from the “Action” button menu to name the new custom view.

         The “Save View As...” dialogue displays.

         

         

         1. Specify the desired “View Name”.

         2. For the “Fund Holdings” page, also use the corresponding option button set on the dialogue to specify whether the new view will be visible to only you (“User” selection), or to all application users in the current environment (“Global” selection).

            

            You must be assigned the “Add/Edit/Delete Global Fund Holdings Views” user right to specify the “Global” selection (the option button is disabled if you are not assigned the right).

         3. Click the “Accept” button at lower-right of the dialogue to save the new view.

            The new view is automatically selected in the “View” drop-down list.

            

      3. Edit the new custom view, as needed.

         1. The following properties of a custom view can be modified, and these changes are retained when the view is saved:

            1. View name

               1. Select “Edit View” from the “Action” button menu to change the name of the custom view.

                  The “Edit View” dialogue displays.

                  

                  1. Specify the desired “View Name”.

                  2. Click the “Accept” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

            2. Columns shown in view

               1. Select “Edit View” from the “Action” button menu to add or remove columns from the custom view.

                  The “Edit View” dialogue displays.

                  

                  1. Select or clear the check box in the “Visible” column of the grid for each field you wish to show or hide in the custom view.

                  2. Click the “Accept” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

            3. Numeric-type column subtotal display for groups (“Fund Holdings” page only)

               1. Select “Edit View” from the “Action” button menu to display or hide a subtotal for one or more numeric-type fields in each group of the view.

                  The “Edit View” dialogue displays.

                  

                  1. Select or clear the check box in the “Calc” column of the grid for each field for which you wish to show or hide a subtotal.

                  2. Click the “Accept” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

            4. Column ordering

               1. Arrange the visible columns in any order by dragging-and-dropping them within the grid.
               2. Select “Save View” from the “Action” button menu to save this and all other properties of the current view.

            5. Column widths

               1. As required, adjust the width of one or more visible columns in the grid by dragging the left or right edge of the corresponding column header(s).
               2. Select “Save View” from the “Action” button menu to save this and all other properties of the current view.

            6. Grid grouping

               1. Set up groups of data in the grid by dragging one or more column headers into the grouping section above the grid.
               2. Select “Save View” from the “Action” button menu to save this and all other properties of the current view.

         Column sorting, column filters and the grid splitter position are not currently remembered as part of the custom view functionality.

      Only the standard views are visible to all users. Custom views are only visible to the user who created them.

   3. Viewing All Columns. The standard “All columns” selection allows you to quickly view all available columns for the current grid.

      

   You can change the settings of a standard view while it’s selected, but such changes will not be saved. You can only permanently save changes to custom views.

      1. Specify a chapter name in the corresponding text box.

         Chapter names must be unique across all chapters in a given document structure template.

      2. If necessary, specify a chapter code in the corresponding text box.

         A value for this field is not required.

         • A value for this field is not required.

         • If PDF blacklining functionality will be used for projects using this template, the following criteria should be met with regard to this field in order to ensure accurate results.

           • A value should be provided and be unique within the structure template.
           • The value should be relatively short in length (the greater the number of characters, the more risk of non-unique ID values in output [and consequently, inaccurate blacklining]).

      3. Use the “Behavior” drop-down list to specify the behavior of the chapter with regard to the items contained therein.

         Chapter/Fund Behavior Options:

         1. “No Repeat”: Inserts the non-fund-specific content of the chapter only once in the document. Typical use for this option is for “TOC”, “Cover”, “Letter”, “MD&A”, “Notes” and other items that aren’t associated with a specific fund.
         2. “All Funds - Combined”: Inserts the multi-fund content of the chapter only once in the document, combined in a single table.
         3. “All Funds - Single”: Inserts the multi-fund content of the chapter only once in the document. This option might be used, for example, with financial statement spreads that have all funds assigned to them.

         4. “All Funds - Repeat”: Inserts the content of the chapter for each fund assigned to the project. You could use this option for portfolio statements that need to be repeated for each fund.

            The fund name is displayed in parentheses next to chapters with this behavior on both the “Project Templates” and “Project” pages.

         5. “Common Content”: This behavior option is similar to the existing “No Repeat” option, in that only items that do not require a fund can be placed in the chapter (i.e., text, images and tables).

            • If you attempt to drag-and-drop any other item type to the chapter, a visual cue () will display at left of the item name to indicate that it may not be placed in the “Common Content” chapter.
            • Only one chapter in the document structure template may be set with a behavior type of “Common Content”. If you specify more than one chapter with this behavior type, an error message will be displayed upon an attempt to save.
            • The contents of the designated “Common Content” chapter will be available for output on every page of the document. The style sheet associated with the project’s template determines when and where the content will display.

         6. “External Document”: This behavior option is similar to the existing “No Repeat” option.

            • Any number of chapters in the structure template may be set with this behavior type.
            • Only one item of type “External Document” can be placed in each chapter with this behavior type.

         The typical behavior for a Body chapter will be to repeat for each fund chosen in the “Funds” tab of the “Project Templates” page. The typical behavior for a Disclaimer chapter will be one chapter for all the funds; the chapter does not belong to any specific fund.

   3. Select each section in the tree view at left in order to specify the desired name, behavior, etc. of each via the “Details” sub-tab at right.

      

      1. Specify a section name in the corresponding text box.

         Section names must be unique across all sections in a given document structure template.

      2. If necessary, specify a section code in the corresponding text box.

         A value for this field is not required.

         • A value for this field is not required.

         • If PDF blacklining functionality will be used for projects using this template, the following criteria should be met with regard to this field in order to ensure accurate results.

           • A value should be provided and be unique within the structure template.
           • The value should be relatively short in length (the greater the number of characters, the more risk of non-unique ID values in output [and consequently, inaccurate blacklining]).

      3. Use the “Behavior” drop-down list to specify the behavior of the section with regard to the items contained therein.

         Section/Fund Behavior Options:

         1. “No Repeat”: Inserts the non-fund-specific content of the section only once in the document. Typical use for this option is for “TOC”, “Cover”, “Letter”, “MD&A”, “Notes” and other items that aren’t associated with a specific fund.
         2. “All Funds - Combined”: Inserts the multi-fund content of the section only once in the document, combined in a single table.
         3. “All Funds - Single”: Inserts the multi-fund content of the section only once in the document. This option might be used, for example, with financial statement spreads that have all funds assigned to them.

         4. “All Funds - Repeat”: Inserts the content of the section for each fund assigned to the project. You could use this option for portfolio statements that need to be repeated for each fund.

            The fund name is displayed in parentheses next to sections with this behavior on both the “Project Templates” and “Project” pages.

         The typical behavior for a Body section will be to repeat for each fund chosen in the “Funds” tab of the “Project Templates” page. The typical behavior for a Disclaimer section will be one section for all the funds; the section does not belong to any specific fund.

      4. Use the “Account Period” drop-down list to indicate whether section items represent the current or the prior account period.

         Account Period Behavior Options:

         1. “Current Account Period”: Returns data for the current account period for components in the section.

            This option is typically used for sections that represent a Table of Contents.

         2. “Fiscal Year End 1st prior”: Returns data for the most recent prior fiscal year end, as opposed to data for the current account period for components in the section.
         3. “Fiscal Year End 2nd prior”: Returns data for the second prior fiscal year end to the current fiscal year end, as opposed to data for the current account period for components in the section.
         4. “Fiscal Year End 3rd prior”: Returns data for the third prior fiscal year end to the current fiscal year end, as opposed to data for the current account period for components in the section.
         5. “Fiscal Year Semi End 1st prior”: Returns data for the semi-annual account period found in the first prior fiscal year, as opposed to data for the current account period for components in the section.

         The “Fiscal year end changes” setting for the fund on the “Funds” page must be respected if it falls within one of the existing data points.

   4. Add items to the structure by dragging-and-dropping them from the “Available Items” sub-tab at right into the chapter(s) and/or section(s) you created.

      • You won’t be able to add some item types to chapters and sections with certain “Behavior” settings. This is to ensure that Arc Suite can determine the appropriate fund(s) to use when creating data for each chapter/section.

        Chapters

        Item Type/Behavior	No Repeat	All Funds - Combined	All Funds - Single	All Funds - Repeat	Common Content	External Document

      • If you add a “Chart” item () to a chapter or section, Arc Suite automatically creates a chart from the data you provide for the associated chart template. Arc Suite returns a JPG preview of the chart on the “Project” page. An EPS image of the chart is also generated and is inserted into project output. Arc Suite supports previewing chart data for portfolio statements, financial statements and tabular data.

   5. Select each item added to the tree view structure to specify its corresponding “Output Style Type” and “Item Name” via the “Details” sub-tab at right.

      • Available output style types are limited to those designated as “active” in association with the current complex, via the Table Styles library.
      • Item names must be unique across all items in a given document structure template.

The fund name is displayed in parentheses next to sections with the “All Funds - Repeat” behavior specified.

         3. Text

            1. Define the origin of the text to be included via the “Text Snippet Option” drop-down list.

               

               Available text options are as follows:

               • “Ad Hoc”: Allows you to create the text item’s content within the project (i.e., via the “Components” tab of the “Project” page) once the project is generated.
               • “Link To Text Library”: Allows you to specify a snippet contained in a text library. The content of the text item will always reflect that which is contained in the library.
               • “Copy From Text Library”: Allows you to specify a snippet contained in a text library as a “starting point” for the content of the text item in the project. The content of the text snippet will initially reflect that which is contained in the library. The snippet represents a standalone instance, and any changes will be contained in the project and not reflected in the library.
            2. If you specified the “Ad Hoc” selection, you may also select the “Ad Hoc snippet rollforward” check box to cause the snippet text specified in a given project to automatically roll forward to each successive reporting period.

            3. If you specified either the “Link To Text Library” or “Copy From Text Library” selection, also specify the “Text Snippet Library” in which the content resides.

               

            4. If you specified either the “Link To Text Library” or “Copy From Text Library” selection, choose the “Text Snippet” from among those listed in the selected library.

               

               • You can also assign text snippets to any item of type “Text” at any time via the “Assignment” sub-tab.
               • You can use the “Filter by” option narrow the list of available items to those in the specified text library that are flagged with the current “Text Type”. This option is disabled when no “Text Type” value has been specified for the project item in the associated structure template.
               • The folder in which the selected text snippet is contained (if any) is displayed at right of the “Folder” label on the tab.
               • The description text of the selected text snippet is displayed at right of the “Description” label on the tab.
               • You can view the content of the selected text snippet that is associated with a specified account period and language by clicking the “Preview Snippet Content” link at the bottom of the tab.

            You can replicate the “Suppression” and/or “Assignment” settings of a selected text snippet in one or more other project templates of the same structure by clicking the “Push component settings to other project templates” button at lower-right of the tree view.

         5. Portfolio Statements

            1. Choose the “Portfolio Statement” template to associate with the selected item.

               

               • A built-in, non-customizable statement template that meets the disclosure requirements for Form N-MFP may be used by selecting “[Standard N-MFP” Portfolio Template].
               • Any user-defined statement template may selected from the list, instead, if desired.
               • You can also assign statement templates to any item of type “Portfolio” at any time via the “Assignment” sub-tab.
               • You can use the “Filter by” option narrow the list of available items to those that are flagged with the current “Portfolio Type”. This option is disabled when no “Portfolio Type” value has been specified for the project item in the associated structure template.

            1. Choose the “Financial Statement” template to associate with the selected item.

               

               • You can also assign statement templates to any item of type “Financial” at any time via the “Assignment” sub-tab.
               • You can use the “Filter by” option narrow the list of available items to those that are flagged with the current “Financial Type”. This option is disabled when no “Financial Type” value has been specified for the project item in the associated structure template.

            2. For statements in chapters/sections whose fund behavior is set to “All Funds - Single” via the underlying document structure template, designate the fund(s) to be included using the options in the “Funds to Display” section.

               1. Select the “All funds” option (default selection for newly-added statements) to include all funds designated for the project template on the “Funds” tab.

               2. Choose the “Selected fund(s)” option to specify some subset of funds to be included for the statement.

                  1. Click the “Edit” link at right of the “Funds to Display” section heading to set the funds to display.

                     The “Edit Funds to Display” dialogue displays.

                     

                     1. Select the check box corresponding to the fund(s) that you wish to display for the statement.

                        You can use the “Select all” or “Clear all” links to quickly select/clear the check boxes.

                     2. Click the “Accept” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

            3. Specify spread or stack settings for the statement.

               1. Standard-orientation templates

                  1. Click the “Spread/Stack Settings” tab.

                     

                     This tab is only enabled when the behavior of the chapter/section in the document structure template is set to “No Repeat”, “All Funds - Single” or “All Funds - Repeat”.

                  2. Choose the “Fund”, “Class” or “Column count” option button to indicate whether data will be break by fund, class or the specified column count value in project output.

                     • The “Fund” option is disabled when the behavior of the chapter/section in the document structure template is set to “No Repeat” or “All Funds - Repeat”, making “Class” the default (and only available) selection in that case.
                     • The “Class” option is disabled when the behavior of the chapter/section in the document structure template is set to “All Funds - Single”.

                     1. If the “Column count” option button is selected, designate the number of columns the table will display on the page after the first column, via the associated spinner control (this applies to all columns after the first, whether repeating or not).

                        The minimum possible value of the spinner is “1” (negative values are not allowed); the maximum possible value is “50”.

                  3. Choose either the “Spread” or “Stack” option button to indicate whether data will display as a spread or stacked in project output.

                     • The “Spread” option is disabled when the behavior of the chapter/section in the document structure template is set to “No Repeat”, making “Stack” the default (and only available) selection in that case.
                     • The “Stack” option is disabled when the “Column count” table breaking option is selected, making “Spread” the default (and only available) selection in that case.

                  4. If either the “Fund” or “Class” option button is selected, specify more granular spread/stack settings using the associated controls on the tab.

                     1. Use the slider controls near the top of the tab to set the number of funds/classes that display on left pages and right pages of the spread, respectively.

                        • This setting determines how many funds/classes (not how many columns) should be sent to the rendering engine by left/right page. During output generation, Arc Suite will apply this setting and create as many pages as needed to output all columns of data.
                        • When the “Fund” option is selected, available funds and their order are based on the “Funds to Display” settings specified for the financial statement on the “Item Detail” tab.
                        • When the “Class” option is selected, available classes and their order are based on the “Associated Class(es)” specified on the “Classes” sub-tab of the “Financial Workbook Templates” page.
                        • The last page does not display a slider bar. The last page is effectively an “overflow” page, on which any funds/classes that do not fit within the specifications of the other pages will be placed.
                        • For new project templates, both slider bars will be set to “0” by default. This setting will cause all funds/classes to be displayed on the left of the “page” control, and to be printed on one page.
                        • The left page display can contain a maximum of 20 funds/classes, and the right page display can contain a maximum of 20 funds/classes, for a total of a 40-fund/class spread.

                     2. Select the “Set individual page spread settings” check box to control the number of funds/classes that display on each page of each spread with the slider controls at the top of the tab (as opposed to the controls affecting all left- and right-facing pages of all spreads).

                        With the check box selected, changing the slider setting on any given page does not affect any other page on the current or any other spread.

                        1. If desired, select the “Last column page break” check box to cause a new spread to be created in statement preview/output after the last page on which statement spreads are displayed.

                           • This check box is only enabled when the “Set individual page spread settings” check box is selected, and when the “Spread” option button is selected.

                           • A given column’s “Spread Properties” setting (specified on the “Format Column” dialogue via the “Financial Statement Template Output Settings” page) determines whether or not it displays on the new page.

                             • Columns set as “All pages in all spreads” or “Last page in last spread” will display on the page.
                             • If the new page is left facing, columns set as “Left-facing page in each spread” will display on the page.
                             • If the new page is right facing, columns set as “Right-facing page in each spread” will display on the page.
                           • All columns in repeat groups are ignored (i.e., repeat group settings are not applied).

                        2. Use the “Number of pages” spinner control to dictate the number of pages the set of spreads will occupy.

                           • This spinner control is only enabled when the “Set individual page spread settings” check box is selected.
                           • The minimum possible value of the spinner is “0” (negative values are not allowed).
                           • The maximum possible value of the spinner is “100”.
                           • If one or more funds are added to the project template via the “Funds” tab, the funds are added to the last page of the spread set.
                           • If one or more pages are added by means of specifying a spinner value higher than the number of pages occupied by the project template’s funds, the page(s) will remain and be output as blank pages, except when the “Stack” option button is selected.
                           • If one or more pages are removed by means of specifying a spinner value lower than the number of pages occupied by the project template’s funds, the fund(s) from the removed page(s) will be added to the last remaining page.

                     3. Select the “Align rows” check box if you want the rows in opposing pages to be aligned vertically in statement output.

                        This check box is disabled when the “Stack” option button is selected.

                  5. Use the “Value-based Caption Behavior” drop-down list to specify the range of data to be examined before returning line item captions that are based on numeric values.

                     1. When the “Spread” option button is selected, available selections are as follows:

                        1. “All pages” (default selection) - ArcReporting will look to all funds/periods on all spreads before returning the caption value.
                        2. “Per page” - ArcReporting will look only to the funds/periods on the current page of the spread before returning the caption value.
                        3. “Per Left/Right set” - ArcReporting will look only to the funds/periods on the current left/right page spread before returning the caption value.

                     2. When the “Stack” option button is selected, available selections are as follows:

                        1. “Per stack” (default selection) - ArcReporting will look only to the funds/periods on the current stack before returning the caption value.
                     3. If the spread/stack feature is not enabled for the table, captioning is done across the entire financial statement template for the line item (i.e., each column that is output).

                  6. Use the “Zero Suppression Behavior” drop-down list to designate suppression behavior for statement line items that have a value of zero (“0”), as determined on the “Financial Statement Template Output Settings” page.

                     1. When the “Spread” option button is selected, available selections are as follows:

                        1. “Per Left/Right set” (default selection) - ArcReporting will look at each left/right set (assuming there is more than one) and apply zero suppression settings to each individual set. For example, if a row (e.g., “Cash”) has a balance on the first page, but not on the third or fourth page, this setting would suppress the row on the second spread.
                        2. “Per page” - ArcReporting will look at each individual page and apply zero suppression settings to each individual page. When utilizing this option, the output should display the row descriptions on every page. Otherwise, the numbers on the right page may not align with the descriptions on the left page.
                        3. “All pages” - ArcReporting will look at all the columns across all spreads and apply zero suppression settings across them all. For example, if a row (e.g., “Cash”) has a balance on the first page, but not on the third or fourth page, this setting would not suppress the row on the second spread.

                     2. When the “Stack” option button is selected, available selections are as follows:

                        1. “Per stack” (default selection) - ArcReporting will look at each left/right set (assuming there is more than one) and apply zero suppression settings to each individual set. For example, if a row (e.g., “Cash”) has a balance on the first page, but not on the third or fourth page, this setting would suppress the row on the second spread.

                  7. Specify the location of the statement footnote legend via the “Footnote Legend Placement for Spread/Stack Output” drop-down list.

                     1. If you specify a legend location of “All pages (spread specific)”, you may also opt to split statement footnotes evenly between the left and right pages in output by selecting the “Split footnotes evenly” check box.

                        If an odd number of footnote records exist, the left count displays the additional footnote on the left page (e.g., if total number of footnote records is 9, 5 footnotes print on the left and 4 print on the right).

                        1. If you do not select the “Split footnotes evenly” check box, you can instead use the “Number of footnotes on left page” spinner control to manually specify how many footnotes display on the left page in output; the remaining footnote(s) will be placed on the right page.
               2. Pivoted-orientation templates

                  1. Click the “Spread Settings” tab.

                     

                     This tab is only enabled when the behavior of the chapter/section in the document structure template is set to “No Repeat”, “All Funds - Single” or “All Funds - Repeat”.

                  2. Select the “Enable spread settings for pivoted financial statement” check box and populate the associated spinner control to specify the number of columns to display on left pages of each spread; the remaining columns will display on right pages.

                     The minimum possible value of the spinner is “1” (negative values are not allowed); the maximum possible value is “50”.

         7. Charts

            1. Choose the “Chart Template” to associate with the selected item.

               If you add a “Chart” item () to a chapter or section, Arc Suite automatically creates a chart from the data you provide for the associated chart template. Arc Suite returns a JPG preview of the chart on the “Project” page. An EPS image of the chart is also generated and is inserted into project output. Arc Suite supports previewing chart data for portfolio statements, financial statements and tabular data.

            2. If multi-language functionality is enabled for the template, specify the “Language” with which the chart data is associated.
         8. Tabular Data

            1. Choose the “Tabular Data Definition” to associate with the selected item.

               

               • You can also assign tabular data templates to any item of type “Table” at any time via the “Assignment” sub-tab.
               • You can use the “Filter by” option narrow the list of available items to those that are flagged with the current “Table Type”. This option is disabled when no “Table Type” value has been specified for the project item in the associated structure template.
         9. External Documents

            1. If multi-language functionality is enabled for the template, specify the “Language” with which the document is associated.
         10. Shared Legends

             1. Choose the “Shared Legend Template” to associate with the selected item.

             2. Click the “Edit” link at right of the “Associated Statements” section header to specify one or more portfolio or financial statements whose items will populate the shared legend.

                Available statements include only those of the same statement type as the specified “Shared Legend Template” (i.e., “Portfolio” or “Financial”), and those that are not already associated with any other shared legend template in the current project template.

      2. If required, define a formula via the “Suppression” sub-tab for any given template item that determines the condition(s) under which the item will be suppressed in project output.

         1. Select the “Advanced Suppression” check box.

            The corresponding hyperlink is enabled.

            

         2. Click the link at right of the check box.

            The “Add/Edit Conditional Formula” dialogue displays.

            

            1. Provide a descriptive name for the suppression formula and add appropriate conditional elements.

            2. Click the “Accept” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

         • If no conditional formula is defined at all, and the “Advanced Suppression” check box is selected, it is as though the check box were not selected (i.e., advanced suppression is turned off).

         • If the defined conditional formula returns “True”, the line item will be suppressed; if the formula returns “False”, the line item will not be suppressed.

           • If the selected node is a chapter or section, all items within that chapter/section will also be suppressed if the specified condition(s) for the chapter/section return(s) “True”, regardless of whether any conditional formulas that may be defined for those items return “True” or “False”.
         • Suppression logic for “All Funds - Single” chapters and sections will be based on the first fund in the book.
         • For “All Funds - Repeat” chapters and sections, the suppression is done on a fund-by-fund basis; if the condition is met for one fund, it does not suppress the item for all the funds.
         • When referencing a fund data point, class data point or supplemental data point in the formula the footed value of that data point will be used.

         You can replicate the “Suppression” settings of a selected text snippet in one or more other project templates of the same structure by clicking the “Push component settings to other project templates” button at lower-right of the tree view.

      3. Use the “Assignment” sub-tab to quickly find available text snippets, financial or portfolio statement templates and tabular data templates to assign to any given project template item.

         1. Click the appropriate sub-tab, and then assign the desired text snippet or financial/portfolio/tabular data template by dragging-and-dropping it on a project template item of the corresponding type.

            

            Any snippet/template previously assigned to a given item will be overwritten.

            You can replicate the “Assignment” settings of a selected text snippet in one or more other project templates of the same structure by clicking the “Push component settings to other project templates” button at lower-right of the tree view.

      4. Click the “Save” button at lower-right of the page.

      Exporting project template content setup information

      A selected project template and all the associated chapter/item detail can be exported to a file of Excel format. Follow the steps below to get the Excel file.

      1. Click the “Export project template setup” button below the “Chapter Detail” pane to export the setup information.

         The “Export Project Template Setup” dialogue displays.

         1. Click the “Yes” button on the dialogue to confirm export of the information.

            You can see the resulting extract file(s) by clicking the “Output Queue” button at upper-right of the Arc Suite interface.

            The “Project Template Setup” export file header will display the date and time the export was requested, the name of the person who exported the file, and the associated project template detail information.

            

            The chapters and items will display in the file in the order defined within the project template, with all associated chapter/item detail information. Each new chapter displays in bold text.

            

   4. Output Management Tab

      1. Provide a unique “Project Code” for projects that will be associated with the current project template. This code is typically provided by Donnelley Financial Solutions Implementations staff, and is used for identification purposes when processing project content for output.
      2. As needed, provide an “FMS Component Number” for projects that will be associated with the current project template. This code is used for identification purposes when processing project content for EDGAR filing.

      3. Specify one or more “Output Media” formats to be supported by the template.

         

         The “EDGAR (HTML)” output media check box is enabled only when the “PDF” check box is selected.

         1. Select “Rendition” to facilitate generating output based on active definitions assigned to style sheets via the Renditions library.
         2. For posting output to the Web, select “PDF”, “Excel” and/or “Word”.
         3. For generating a filing for submission to the SEC or ICI, select “N-MFP (XML)”.

         Although the selection of certain output types causes the “Monthly” and “Other” style sheet fields to become visible/editable, style sheet functionality is not currently in use for ArcFiling projects (i.e., specifying a style sheet will have no effect on project output).

      4. Specify a style sheet for use in each reporting cycle by dragging-and-dropping it from the “Available Style Sheets” pane at right of the tab.

         • One style sheet box displays beneath a selected output type for each reporting cycle that is selected on the “Reporting” tab for the current template.
         • The “Available Style Sheets” pane lists all style sheets that are associated with the complex with which the current project template is associated.
         • The style sheet you specify for in the “Other” text box for each output type will be used on any project that has an account period that is not for predefined account period types for the template (i.e., not the “Annual”, “Semi-Annual”, “Quarterly”, “Monthly” or any “prelim” periods).

      5. Click the “Save” button at lower-right of the page.

   5. Administration Tab

      1. Click the “Push out changes” link on the “Administration” tab to apply settings in the template to the project instance(s) associated with it.

         The “Push Template Changes” dialogue displays.

         

         

         If any given project template instance is “Out of Sync” (i.e., it has not received the latest changes from the structure template), the image in the “Status” column appears disabled.

         1. Select the check box(es) next to the project(s) you want to synchronize with the project template (click the “Select all” link at lower-left to select all templates in the list at once).

         2. Click the “Push out changes” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

            The selected project(s) will now show a status of “In Sync”.

            

         3. Click the “Cancel” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

      2. Click the “Save” button at lower-right of the page.

   6. Production Procedures Tab

      1. Provide one or more sets of production procedure instructions.

         

         1. Click the “Add” button at lower-left of the “Production Procedures” tab to add a procedure.

            The “Add Production Procedure” dialogue displays.

            1. Choose a “Document Type” of “Hand Typed Note” (default selection) to provide information that is not contained in a pre-existing document, and then type the content of the procedure in the “Note” text box.

               

            2. Set the “Document Type” to “External File” if the information to be provided is contained in a pre-existing document, and then browse for the file using the button at right of the “File” field.

               

            3. Provide a meaningful “Description” for the procedure.

            4. Choose the “Period Type” with which the procedure is associated.

               • Only those production procedures for the current reporting cycle of a project will be displayed on its “Production Procedures” tab. Since N-MFP projects only have a monthly reporting cycle, this option must be set to “Monthly”.For example, if the project is for an “Annual” period, then only “Annual” production procedures will be displayed.
               • New projects that get created (i.e., for future reporting cycles of this type) will automatically display this production procedure.
            5. Specify whether the procedure applies to the entire “Project” (default selection), or to a “Specific Chapter” therein. In the case of the latter, specify it using the “Chapter” drop-down list.

            6. Click the “Accept” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

               The “Add Production Procedure” dialogue closes and the procedure is added to the grid.

      2. Click the “Save” button at lower-right of the page.

   7. Reporting Tab

      Once all content and libraries have been assigned to the project, the next step is to activate the project template. Prior to activating the project template, however, you should validate that it has been set up appropriately.

      1. Once all project template settings have been specified, click the “Activate Template” link on the “Reporting” tab to create one or more instances of the project, based on the settings in both the project template and the document structure template.

         Once activated, the information contained in the “Reporting” tab will reflect the current status of the project template.

         

         

      2. Click the “Save” button at lower-right of the page.
