2 - Status - Indicates the status: Draft, Processing, Pending, Published

3 - Selection Area - As admins move through the workflow, this area allows them to make selections as required.

4 - Upload Details - Provides a live summary of the upload as admins move through the workflow.

5 - Action Buttons - Allows admins to move forward or back through the process or delete the upload, as well as save changes before publishing and revert to pending (Back, Save Changes, Move to Pending, Delete).

How to Add Manually

To add a file individually, use the Add Manually button. Click the +New Row button to add a new row. In this case, any entered data will be uploaded as is and the signage will not change.


Step 3: Data Mapping

This step allows you to map the portal fields to the columns in the source file to ensure the system is looking at the right column when uploading data. To proceed to the next step, each mandatory field must be matched to one of the columns in the source file. Any non-mandatory field will be skipped and not be included in the upload.


Column Headers

Portal field - standard fields in the portal, listed in the order they appear in the system.

Mandatory (yes/no) - indicates if the field is mandatory or not.

Type - Number, string, date, dollar amount.

Data upload field - the column headers from the source file.

Status - Matched, Not Matched, Manual., The system initially attempts to map portal field names to the column headers such as Investor ID, provided the column headers are labeled correctly.


Step 4: Review

The Review page displays an overview of all uploaded data in a Pending status. Verify the table and ensure all rows are matched before uploading data. You cannot publish this data until all rows have a status of Matched or Manual.

IMPORTANT: It is not possible to go Back to a previous step. If you need to make any changes, you must delete this pending upload and start over.

  • Yellow banner displays list of the investors and contacts who do not have access to data in the system. Use the hyperlinks to view each investor and contact access on separate browser tabs.
  • Use the Download CSV button to download a CSV of the table.
  • The Download Report button provides the table and Upload Details summary (pdf format).
  • Upload Details section displays the count of investors and contacts that have access to this data.

NOTE: The Revert to Pending button is only visible for Published uploads.


Data Wizard Accuracy Controls

Sensr Portal has multiple controls to view and verify the data upload before you hit Publish. It is recommended that you use the controls to validate the data.

  1. In Step 1: Select Data Upload Type - if there are any pending or draft Financials uploads for the fund; you will not be able to proceed to Step 2 until the pending upload is either published or removed before uploading new data.

  2. Be sure to review the Upload Details section for Investors and Contacts counts which appear on Step 2: Upload File and onwards. Ensure that the investor and contact counts match investor / contact permissions. Click on the link to navigate to those pages.


  3. Step 4: Review a Yellow banner list of investors / contacts who do not have access to the data.

Step 3: Data Mapping

A yellow alert indicating duplicate columns are not allowed.


One of more of the following:

  1. The upload file has two columns with the same name.
  2. Two fields are mapped to the same upload file column.
  1. Remove or modify the duplicate column header in the upload file and re-upload.
  2. Two fields cannot be mapped to the same upload file column.

Step 4: Review

The source file has a value, but data is missing from the review step.

The source file has an incorrectly formatted column or invalid entry. Ensure the data is corrected and re-upload. Or, simply enter the correct data into the empty field.
Step 4: Review Investor ID and Investor are blank.

One or more of the following:

  1. Investor ID is invalid.
  2. Investor ID does not exist in the system.
  3. Investor is not associated to the fund.
  1. Validate the Investor ID.
  2. Ensure the Investor ID already exists in the system.
  3. Ensure the Investor is associated with the fund. (check the Financials tab)

Step 4: Review

A mandatory field is not populated with data.

Mandatory information was not provided in the source file. Ensure the source file has the required data.
