Populating a User-Defined Variable

Depending on your institution’s portfolio (Debit, Credit, Retail or more than one), you will populate the user-defined variables (UDVs) in the appropriate UDVCalculationReset ruleset.

For example, if your organization includes both a debit and credit portfolio scoring in Falcon, you will name all your UDVs in the UDV/UDP Management project, but you will update UDVs in the Credit or Debit project depending on the type of information you are collecting.

Populating the UDV is the step that allows you to calculate the value that you will store in the UDV and reset that value when necessary. If you are simply storing a date, you may write code that enables the date to reset itself when the conditions are met again.

However, if you are storing a calculated value like a counter or sum-total, you may need to indicate to Falcon when to reset the value (such as, within an hour, a day, or other time frame).

You cannot populate a UDV from a project where the UDVs key value is not included in the data feed. For example, in the 2.4 data feeds, the CIS project does not include references to PAN (used as the key for SRVC UDVs) or Account number (used as the key for ACCT UDVs). Therefore, you should not populate an Account or Service UDV from this project.

To populate a UDV, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the project where you would like to add a UDV Calculation Rule.
  2. Select the Udv Calculation Ruleset.
  3. Click the Check Out icon, and click the Edit icon if it is not already in edit mode.
  4. Click the green + icon.
  5. Click the newly created rule.
  6. Enter the name for rule and the rule content.
  7. Click the Save icon.
  8. Click the Check In icon.
  9. Submit the UDV Calculation Rule and Udv Calculation Ruleset for approval.
    Caution: It is essential that this change is approved prior to deployment. Rule deployment is not possible for UDV Calculation rules that have not been approved.
