Introduction

Aimed at reporting specialists, the advanced mode provides more detailed control over the ad hoc orders as well as scheduled orders. It allows users to directly view and edit the JSON representation of an order. This page provides an in depth description along with many examples on how the advanced mode can be used.

Using the Advanced Mode

In the detail view of a scheduled order or in the ad hoc order, click the tab advanced mode. You now see the JSON representation of the order.

The editor provides several features to help with the editing process:

Mismatched brackets, commas etc. are highlighted.
Alt+Shift+F formats the order.
Extended search functionality. Click on the editor field to make sure it is focused. Then, press CTRL+F.

Example Orders

Simple ad hoc order	{ "reportType": "sample_TwoPager", "outputFormat": "pdf", "parameters":{ "portfolioId": "E0002", "reportingDate": "2019-03-31", "reportLanguage": "en" } }
Simple manually scheduled order orderType = manual orderStatus and orderName are set	{ "reportType": "sample_TwoPager", "outputFormat": "pdf", "orderType": "manual", "parameters": { "reportLanguage": "en", "portfolioId": "E0002" }, "orderStatus": "active", "orderName": "E0002 monthly two pager EN" }
Simple automatically scheduled order orderType = scheduled and has scheduling property. orderStatus and orderName are set	{ "reportType": "sample_TwoPager", "outputFormat": "pdf", "orderType": "scheduled", "scheduling": { "availabilities": [ {"availability": "eventDriven"} ], "frequency": "monthly", "startDate": "2018-01-01" }, "parameters": { "reportLanguage": "en", "portfolioId": "E0002" }, "orderStatus": "active", "orderName": "E0002 monthly two pager EN" }
Order scheduled once Automatic scheduled order but: start and end date are set to the same day frequency = daily	{ "reportType": "sample_TwoPager", "outputFormat": "pdf", "orderType": "scheduled", "scheduling": { "availabilities": [ {"availability": "eventDriven"} ], "frequency": "daily", "startDate": "2018-01-01", "endDate": "2018-01-01" }, "parameters": { "reportLanguage": "en", "portfolioId": "E0002" }, "orderStatus": "active", "orderName": "E0002 monthly two pager EN" }

Batch Orders

The advanced mode allows a greater deal of flexibility for batch orders. In the JSON representation, some properties in an order can be “starred“, i.e. postfixed with *. These are the properties that cause the batch orders to yield multiple reports. In simple cases this can easily be set up using the default mode, for example when creating the same report for multiple portfolioIDs and languages. What is unique to the JSON representation, is that multiple sets of parameters can be configured with parameters*. This allows for a fine granular configuration for each of the resulting reports.

Batch Order Rules

There are three simple rules:

Any property name ending in a star * is an array which implies multiple (sub-)orders, with the (star-less) property iterated over its elements.
If both "parameters" and "parameters*" are present, each element of "parameters*" produces one orders with "parameters" merged in (or multiple ones, if sub-parameters are also starred) .
The orders and executions created correspond to the cross product of all properties ending in a star.

Batch Order Examples

Simple batch order example

Batch order with multiple portfolioIDs and languages. The following order creates 6 executions.

{
  "reportType": "sample_FOC_Report",
  "outputFormat": "word",
  "orderType": "manual",
  "parameters": {
    "reportLanguage*": ["en","de"],
    "portfolioId*": [
      "2041", 
      "2044", 
      "2090"
    ],
    "reportingDate": "2020-11-30"
  },
  "orderStatus": "active"
}

	reportLanguage	portfolioId
1	`en`	`2041`
2	`de`	`2041`
3	`en`	`2044`
4	`de`	`2044`
5	`en`	`2090`
6	`de`	`2090`

Different parameters for each execution with parameters*

The below example creates six executions, with different parameters for each portfolio:

{
  "reportType": "sample_FOC_Report",
  "outputFormat": "word",
  "orderType": "manual",
  "parameters": {
      "reportLanguage*": ["en","de"],
      "reportingDate": "2020-11-30"
  },
  "parameters*": [
    {
      "portfolioId": "2041",
      "showTWR": false
    },
    {
      "portfolioId": "2044",
      "showTWR": true
    },
    {
      "portfolioId": "2090",
      "showTWR": true
    }
  ],
  "orderStatus": "active"
}

	reportLanguage	parameters added via parameters*
1	`en`	`"portfolioId": "2041"` `"showTWR": false`
2	`de`	`"portfolioId": "2041",` `"showTWR": false`
3	`en`	`"portfolioId": "2044",` `"showTWR": true`
4	`de`	`"portfolioId": "2044",` `"showTWR": true`
5	`en`	`"portfolioId": "2090",` `"showTWR": true`
6	`de`	`"portfolioId": "2090",` `"showTWR": true`

Use Case Fund Reporting: Create reports for one portfolio for multiple countries with the same order

The following order creates 3 x 3 executions with "jurisdiction" set to "ch", "eu" and "ru". (Hint: the parameter reportLanguage* is not to be confused with the multi-lingual reporting feature using availableLanguages)

{
  "reportType": "sample_FundFactSheet",
  "outputFormat": "html",
  "orderType": "manual",
  "parameters": {
    "reportLanguage*": ["en","de","fr"],
    "portfolioId": "F0001",
    "reportingDate": "2020-11-30",
    "jurisdiction*": ["ch", "eu", "ru"]
  },
  "orderStatus": "active"
}

Starring segmentations

properties of object-type parameters (e.g. filterSegmentation.segments) can’t be used with a *
non-atomic parameters (object or array, e.g. segmentations) can be used with *

{
  "reportType*": [ "fullReport", "shortReport" ],
  "outputFormat*": [ "pdf", "html" ],
  "orderType": "manual",
  "parameters": {
      "reportLanguage*": ["en","de"],
      "reportingDate": "2020-11-30",
      "filterSegmentation": {
        "id": "gugus",
        "segments": [],
        ""
      },
      "segmentations*": [
        [ "seg1", "seg2" ],
        [ "seg2", "seg3" ]
      ]
  },
  "orderStatus": "active",
  "orderId": "ORD00003"
}

Scheduling Parameters

MANDATORY: parameters are mandatory for automatic scheduling based on data availabilities.

Property	Description	Type	Examples / Values
`startDate`	Start date of the scheduling.	Date	2021-01-01
`endDate`	End date of the scheduling.	Date	2021-12-31
`frequency` MANDATORY	Frequency of the scheduling. Can be fine tuned by selecting only specific points in time via frequencyPoints.	one of the below strings: `daily`: schedule every day `weekly`: schedule every Friday (select other days of the week in `frequencyPoints`). `monthly`: schedule at the end (ultimo) of every month. `quarterly`: schedule at the end of every quarter, i.e. 03-31, 06-30, 09-30 and 12-31. `half-yearly`: schedule at the end of every half year, i.e. 06-30 and 12-31. `yearly`: schedule at the end of every year, i.e. 12-31	“daily”
`frequencyPoints`	Selection of points, where the report should be scheduled		If the `frequency` is `daily` and `frequencyPoints` = [15,20,21,22], scheduling will be daily and it will produce reports only on 15, 20, 21, 22 of the given month. If the frequency is `weekly` and `frequencyPoints` = [2], scheduling will be weekly every 2nd day (Tuesday) of the week. If the `frequency` is `monthly` and `frequencyPoints` = [1,2,4,6], scheduling will be monthly and it will produce reports only on Jan, Feb, April and June. If the `frequency` is `quarterly` and `frequencyPoints` = [1,3], scheduling will be quarterly and it will produce reports only on first and third quarters. If the `frequency` is `half-yearly` and `frequencyPoints` = [1], scheduling will be half-yearly and it will produce reports only on the 1st half year. If the `frequency` is `yearly` and `frequencyPoints` = [2020,2021], scheduling will be yearly and it will produce reports only for 2020 and 2021 (should rather be done via `startDate`, `endDate` of the order)
`availabilities` MANDATORY	List of data availabilities the reports should be created for.	`SchedulingAvailability[]` : array of minimum data availabilities triggering this report order to schedule an execution having `availability` set as one of `unpublished` `eventDriven` `signedOff`	[ {"availability": "eventDriven"}, {"availability": "signedOff"} ]

Reference: Different Kinds of Orders

The minimal examples below outline the differences between the various kinds of orders:

Ad hoc vs. scheduled orders
manual vs. automatic scheduling
batch vs. non-batch orders

Ad hoc / scheduled order	Trigger	Batch?	Minimal Example	UI used for creation
Ad hoc	Manual	No	{ "reportType": "sample_TwoPager", "outputFormat": "pdf", "parameters":{ "portfolioId": "E0002", "reportingDate": "2019-03-31", "reportLanguage": "en" } }	Ad Hoc Order
Ad hoc	Manual	Yes	{ "reportType": "sample_TwoPager", "outputFormat": "pdf", "parameters":{ "reportLanguage": ["de", "en"], "portfolioId": ["E0002", "E0001"], "reportingDate": "2019-03-31" } }	Ad Hoc Batch orders are not foreseen. However, Cinnamon will still create the reports and they can be found in the Executions UI. This can be used in exceptional cases.
Scheduled	Manual	No	{ "reportType": "sample_TwoPager", "outputFormat": "pdf", "orderType": "manual", "parameters": { "reportLanguage": "en", "portfolioId": "E0002" }, "orderStatus": "active", "orderName": "E0002 monthly two pager EN" }	Report Order Management
