Registration and distribution matrix is greyed out.

Registration statuses can be uploaded by providing a .csv file with the following columns to rs.clientsupportoperations@fundsquare.net: ISIN;Country;Status;effective date (not mandatory).

Example:

Why has the Distribution Status not been updated to Registered ('R') despite the R to D automation?

If the current distribution status is DX, it will not be updated by an automation and has to be updated manually. Please also note that the automation only works for countries with a filing setup.
