Feed access pre-requisites
This feed service is for National Financial Services (NFS) Clearing Firms and Registered Reps that trade under Registered Broker Dealers. It is prepared for Morningstar ByAllAccounts to obtain account information. Advisors must have a registered relationship with NFS either directly as a Clearing Firm or through a Broker Dealer that clears through NFS. The Clearing Firm's home office is required to complete a Third-Party Transmission Request to release the requested files to ByAllAccounts.

Step 1: Contact the individual at the home office responsible for creating rules in Integration Xchange. This individual will have entitlement for “Integration Xchange_OutboundTransmissionsRulesManagement” and “Integration Xchange Admin Outbound Transmission Rules Management" and will follow the below steps:

Step 2. Log onto Fidelity Wealthscape website and go to the Fidelity Integration Xchange under Resources.

Step 3: In Fidelity Integration Xchange, select My Firm's Integrations > Outbound Transmission Rules:

Digital form instructions to be completed by the Clearing Firm

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
- The Client Header should reference the lowest level of data mapped.
- For instance, for Rep Level configurations, the Client Header must include the Broker Dealer ID and Rep of Record Code (i.e. “Smith-JDoe” or “AB12-B03”).
- Make note of the Client Header, as you’ll need to provide it to ByAllAccounts in the next step.
In the data mapping section under the Header, enter detail as relevant to limit the scope of data as needed. For instance: For Rep Level configurations, enter the Branch and the Rep of Record.
Ensure your Header matches the scope of data as the mapping configured.
