Static

Static data includes such items as currency codes and profit centre codes, and also system information, for example user types and user codes.

The static data is divided into three sections: Admin, dealer and system. You may have access to update some, but not all the static data, or you may only be allowed to browse through for information.

Note: For further information on the detail of the types and codes in any static window, press F1.

In general any change to the above independent static items will also involve changes to 4XTRA to handle new cases. For example, you cannot expect to trade a new instrument by simply adding new deal types to the Static Deal Codes. In this case, coding changes would be necessary.

Other items in static contain dependencies upon the base data and you are therefore restricted.

Static Dealer Menu contains items which the dealers will request to be changed from time to time.

Static Admin Menu contains tables that need maintained on a day to day basis.

The items on the Static-Admin menu are used to maintain the lists of codes and descriptions which all 4XTRA users can look up. The options are:

This menu leads to sub-menus for System and Programmers, and has options for viewing the static and non static logs, and carrying out a control flag reset.
