Instrument Data
“Instrument data” is summarised in the first tab. It displays the validation status of each task related to the instrument.
Instrument Data can be uploaded in a .CSV format to facilitate the process of entering data on the platform, or filled in manually directly from the form.
Download the .csv generator by clicking on "Download here" link available in the light blue banner available landing on the Instrument information section, as shown in the screenshot below:
Depending on the Project attributes, the application will allow the download of different csv files named as: "Listing of Bonds", "Listing of structured Debt", "Listing of Oslo Bonds".
Upon generator download, you will need to enable the Macro, embedded to allow the csv generation. To do so, right click on the file and select “Properties”, and from the “General” tab, flag the “Unblock”.
Open the downloaded file and start filling it. You can manually type the values or either use the dropdown list of value when available. Once the file is completed, you can click on Generate CSV to save the version of the file, ready to be uploaded on the application.
To upload the generated file click on "Upload new.csv" button, a modal will open allowing the upload or the drag and drop of the file.
Upon upload, the data is then automatically converted to a table (see example below).
If there are any errors in the data, they will be highlighted in red upon upload. You can correct them directly in the form. Once all the data is correct, you can either Save as draft by clicking on "Save and close" button, or submit the form clicking on the dedicated "Submit" button.
