The hit list in the query profile Corporate Actions, which allows the search for performed and upcoming income events, capital changes, conversions, general meetings and final maturities has been extended.
The status of a corporate event is now displayed in addition to the type of event, once the Toogle function is executed.

The values of the Status column depends on the type of event and are represented by the following WM fields and associated tables:

• Income:
  Payment status (Field: ED001 / Table: E13)
• Conversions:
  Conversion status (Field: UD001 / Table: U25)

Another small improvement was made ​​in the detail display of wmView.
For the following three fields

• GD240 Original issuer number
• GD241 Issuer number of the umbrella fund
• GD245 Current issuer number

the associated current issuer name (MD031) will now be shown:

By clicking on the issuer number the complete issuer master data will be displayed in the query profile "(M) Issuer Data".
For more information on GD240, GD241 and GD245, in particular the allocation for funds and structured securitisation and indices, please refer to the respective field descriptions in wmGuide.

The long name of the WM fields is now available in a Tooltip in wmView and wmProfile. We consider this small enhancement very useful because the displayed abbreviated short name of many fields are sometimes difficult to interprete.

The tooltip is displayed when the user hovers the pointer over the displayed short name.
