Price indices within EnergySteward.com can have multiple date effective status codes assigned.  Status entries are defined by your organization to provide you with a mechanism to indicate the various phases of availability for a given price index.  More information about status types can be found on in the configuration price index status area within this manual.

 

Add Status (button) - Click this button to add a new status entry for the price index.

 

View/Edit Grid Button (pencil) - Click this next to the applicable status entry in order to change any of the information relevant to the price index status.

 

Delete Grid Button (red x) - Click this next to the applicable status that you want to permanently delete.  When you delete a status, then all information relevant to that price index status will be permanently deleted. Important note: You will be presented with a confirmation ("Are you sure...?") dialog box prior to deletion.

 

The following shows the status detail which you are presented with when adding or updating an price index status entry.

 

Status (drop down list box) - Select the status from the list of available status's.  See the configuration price index status area for creating/updating price index status entries.  This item also includes a quick add icon for setting these status's up directly from this screen (if you have appropriate security).

 

Effective From (popup calendar) - This is a required field.  It will default to '01/01/1800'.  This can be left to the default value.  However, many times it is important to know when the price status entries for the index initially became published.  If you know this value, then enter it here. Important note:  When uploading historical subscription data from Platts (for instance) this field is automatically posted within the initial date the index began its publication.

 

Effective Thru (popup calendar) - This is a required field.  It will default to '12/31/3000'.  This should be left at the default value unless date effectiveness for this status is important.
