Custodian/Clearing firm institutional data imports are supported for the Pro and Enterprise versions of Captools/net.  Institutional data imports are designed for data involving a large number of accounts.  This data is generally provided by the custodian or clearing firm in a flat file format (i.e. not XML tagged format) in a data layout that may be proprietary to the particular custodian.  Captools/net imports such data by using an "Institutional Data Interface" (IDI) file that has been customized to provide Captools/net with instructions on how to import the data provided by a particular custodian or clearing firm.
