Parameter Tables

The table-driven four-tier architecture gives you control with client-defined parameters and qualification sets. You define products, set criteria, and select processing options to configure a system that meets your requirements. There’s no limit to the number of products you can offer your customers.

The system hierarchy is comprised of four major tiers: Transaction, Account, Product, and Portfolio levels. These levels stratify your portfolio according to differences such as separate companies within a business, physical location or reporting requirements. Statistical reporting is provided for account activity at all four levels, and because each level is defined separately with a one-to-many relationship capability, portfolio structure is unlimited. Options are user-defined, not hardwired; if you change a term in one place it changes everywhere Options are user-defined, not hardwired; if you change a term in one place, it changes everywhere it is used.
