Currency Rate Settings
Currency defaults and exchange rates are used when you generate exposure views, run analyses, and view results. Currency Rate Settings enables Business Unit Administrators and System Administrators to manage currency rate sets, currency defaults, and exchange rates. Administrators can import currency rate settings from a CSV file and export currency rate settings to a CSV file.
Users can override display currency and analysis currency from various places in the product, including from the Programs, Exposure Set, and company and portfolio Loss Results panes. Users can also reassign the currency rate table used in an analysis in the Analysis Management pane.
