Security Type Mapping

You can map securities to a dummy ticker using Security Type Mapping. If a security is not priced through your security master—that is, if the security's pricing isn't flowing through to Tamarac—and is not mapped directly to a dummy ticker, Tamarac will then look to see if the security type is mapped to a dummy ticker. This method is often used with fixed income securities to combine a large number of fixed income securities into one ticker, FIXEDINCOME, that can be added to models rather than adding each of the fixed income securities individually.

Use Market Value works in conjunction with Security Type Mapping to determine how you'd like the mapped security to determine the security's value.
