Index data

Please note the following news release dated June 6, 2011 to the elimination of various data fields from the index data.

The index data segment is currently experiencing a degree of upheaval as a result of market consolidation and licensing changes.
As WM Datenservice is still held to delivering weighting data in separate packages for licensing reasons, selected fields will be removed from the Master File (GAT) and become available in the Index Reference (IXR) product only.

The product Index Reference is currently not a part of WMACCESS, so that the affected data fields will be no longer available as of October 24, 2011.

Affected data fields:

• GV333-GV347 Index components
• GV739 Standard equity indices
• GV791 and GV792 Securities in indices

The support for Firefox and Opera was improved particularly in respect of optics and handling. Also Chrome and Safari are now supported.

WMACCESS was tested with the current, stable versions of the five browsers under Windows, partly also under Linux.

Please note:

For the display of hints like "The hit list is empty" you must allow popups.

From February 1st, wmView, wmProfile and user-specific query profiles provide the option to record a query reference with up to 15 alphanumeric characters.

This query reference is stated on our monthly invoices. The sum of all performed queries and incurred costs for each query reference individually chosen by you is stated on a separate attachment to the invoice.
An example can be seen on page 3 of our sample invoice (quick view).

This allows the allocation of the costs for the performed queries to your individual clients, for example in the event of a voluntary declaration.

The query reference recorded for a search is displayed in the hit lists as well as detail displays and can thus be seen on all print-outs.

The query reference is bound to the window (wmView, wmProfile or user profiles) and in the event of a change of the query profiles is transferred within one window. It is therefore not necessary to enter the query reference for every single search.

The query reference is not an obligatory field. Queries that were made without reference are summarised under "*Not specified*" on the attachment to the invoice.

The additional attachment to the invoice is only sent if at least one query reference was used within the billing period.

This additional function is available at no charge.

On February 21, 2011 the 64. WM Release will become effective. We would like to inform you about some upcoming alterations beforehand.
