Validation tools

Welcome to our validation tools.

We have developed online validation tools for our clients and providers, which provide instant feedback whether your document/data is matching known standards and can be imported into our system. Please ensure to only transmit documents/data which have successfully passed validation.

Documents

There are various tools available for the validity testing of PDF metadata, document URLs and CSV structure.

PDF Metadata

This tool checks whether a PDF document meets the metadata requirements. Further details regarding this standard are available in the ‘Templates and Guides’ section of our Data Partner Portal

Document URL

This tool is validating a document URL as such - not the PDF itself. It tests if the URL is returning a PDF in a way that FE fundinfo is able to process the document.

Transfer System

This tool validates a CSV or XML file, which forms the basis of a Document Transfer System (Doc-TS). feed file. Please visit our Data Partner Portal for further details regarding Doc-TS transmissions..

Data
