The standardized instruments used in the Deal input forms must be predefined in Register > Instrument Data. Each instrument must have a unique name. Different sections in the Instrument Data form are mandatory for different type of instruments.

Here's how it works:

Go to Register > Instrument Data
Fill out the details required for each instrument. Details on the different areas within the different tabs are featured below.

Area	Description
Base data	Information here is general for the instrument.
Deal input	Information here defines how the instrument will appear and function in the deal input forms.
Analysis	The information here determines how the instrument shall be treated in analysis and reports.
Bonds	The section will only be activated if the instrument is to be registered in the deal input form for Bonds, Danish Mortgages Bonds or Norwegian Certificates.
Futures / Options	The section is only activated if the instrument is to be registered in the deal input form for Interest rate futures and options.

For detailed instructions for each instrument, see separate articles.
