Feed access pre-requisites

This feed service is for National Financial Services (NFS) Broker Dealers and it is prepared for Morningstar ByAllAccounts to obtain account information. Advisors must have a registered relationship with NFS and is required to complete a Third-Party Transmission Request to release the requested files to ByAllAccounts.

Step 1: Log onto Fidelity Wealthscape website and go to the Fidelity Integration Xchange under Resources.

Step 2: Request a third-party data transmission to ByAllAccounts by updating your firm's outbound transmission rules.

Digital form instructions
  • In Wealthscape, select Menu > Resources > Fidelity Integration Xchange
  • In Fidelity Integration Xchange, select My Firm's Integrations > Outbound Transmission Rules
    • Select "Add Rule" at the bottom of the page
    • Select "BYALLACCOUNTS/MORNINGSTAR (180)" from the ENTITY NAME drop-down menu
    • Select / Add Header: Client Header
      • Contact your Fintech if a Client Header Name is required.
      • The Client Header can be any value created by the B/D and is used by Morningstar BAA to identify the data set for the Advisor.
      • The Client Header should be a combination that includes the B/D ID and Advisor Code (i.e. “Smith-JDoe” or “AB12-B03”).
      • The Client Header must be provided to ByAllAccounts to locate the data once NFS adds it to the feed.
    • Please note that in order to utilize the self-service tools to Add or Delete Outbound Transmission Rules, you must first request the the following entitlements from your Fidelity Administrator:
      • “Integration Xchange_OutboundTransmissionsRulesManagement”
      • “Integration Xchange Admin Outbound Transmission Rules Management"
  • Once the request is submitted and in good order, AVDF/Fidelity will create the requested data feed to ByAllAccounts. These client-initiated changes should be effective the same day provided they are entered prior to 7:30PM EST.
  • Note: This process may take a couple of weeks. If there are any questions regarding the Third-Party Transmission process, the B/D and/or Advisor can contact the NFS Client Service Team.
