How to exclude accounts from Import and Reconciliation from the New Accounts blotter
These steps apply to a New Account coming in with your current import that you do not want imported. You can exclude it from import and reconciliation from the New Accounts blotter.
In the Import Blotter, click on the New Accounts blotter.
Locate the account you’d like to exclude.
In the Account Import Setting column, click on Include in Import and Reconciliation. Choose Exclude from Import and Reconciliation.
In the Mapped Client Name column, select a client. Note: Selecting a Mapped Client Name is needed to establish the mapping, however, the account will not add within Morningstar; so, if there is not an appropriate client to select, any selected Mapped Client Name will work to establish the mapping. If you want the account to add into Morningstar, but be excluded from import and reconciliation, you would not select a Mapped Client Name.
Click Save.

You will receive a warning stating ‘You will need to re-initialize this account by generating the initial transactions in the Reconciliation Blotter if you want to restart posting transactions to this account on an ongoing basis. Are you sure you would like to include this account in import and reconciliation?’ If you want to re-include the account, click OK. If not, click Cancel.
Keep in mind that if the account was excluded; transactions were not being posted from the import. You can either re-initialize the account from the Failed reconciliation blotter (click here for instructions on generating initial transactions) or get the historical transactions from your custodian to import into the account. You can do this using the custodian files or an Excel spreadsheet. If you want to use the custodian files, please call support at 1-866-215-2503 for assistance.
