Configuring Data Files

When you request EmployeeTrack data, you can configure the features listed below. You must include your configuration options in your request email so that we can create the files correctly.

• File Type: You can choose one or more of these file types: Accounts, Positions, Transactions or Securities.
• Field Delimiter: Specify pipe or comma. If a data field contains a delimiter character, the data will be wrapped in double quotes. This option is required.
• Date Format: Indicates how dates will appear in the report data. The default date format is mm/dd/yyyy but you can specify whatever date format you prefer. For example, you could request that the date format be yyyymmdd.
• Include Header Records: Specify whether or not you want header records included in the data. If you want header records, they will be included in ALL file types.
• Use PGP Encryption:- Specify whether or not to use PGP encryption for the data files. If you choose to use PGP encryption, you must provide us with your Public Key. You must tell us if you want PGP Encryption; if you do not, your files will not be encrypted.

You do not have to request all of the above configuration options. The default value will be used for any configuration option you do not request.

Use line feed (LF) as the end-of-line character.
