Product: Intralinks InvestorVision
Applies to: General partners
Distribute investor-specific statements, such as tax documents or capitals calls, to investors either using split codes or not using split codes. If you are using split codes, you can either upload one file that contains statements for multiple investors that must be split, or you can upload a ZIP file of documents that have already been split. When using split codes, you can upload a document for a single fund or a document that needs to be posted across multiple funds.
If you are not using split codes, you can upload a ZIP file that contains all of the documents plus a spreadsheet that maps the documents to the investor and account. You can post to either a single fund or across multiple funds.

About this task
When using split codes, InvestorVision associates the file to the appropriate investor based on the split code. For this functionality to work, the master, concatenated file must use split codes as delimiters between individual investor statements. If you are posting to one fund the split codes must contain the account and investor IDs. For example, URI::INTRALINKS:PDFDOCUMENTS?accountid=100&investorid=ABCD&end# If you are posting across multiple funds, the split codes must also contain the fund IDs. For example, URI::INTRALINKS:PDFDOCUMENTS?fundid=RCGFVII&accountid=100&investorid=ABCD&end# In addition, you must NOT select a fund from the fund dropdown on the postings screen.
The split code must be located at the top of the first page of each investor’s document and should be the same color as the background of the page so the split code cannot be viewed by the limited partner. If you are posting to multiple funds, be sure to change the fund ID in the file split codes when the fund changes. In addition, the account and investor IDs must be configured for each investor. For more information, see Managing investors in InvestorVsion.
When uploading files that do not use a split code, you must also upload a spreadsheet that contains the path of each file and the investor ID and account ID to which this file is associated. If you are uploading across multiple funds, the fund ID must also be included and you must NOT select any fund from the dropdown on the posting screen. You can download a ZIP file that contains a template that you can complete. You will upload that ZIP file that contains the Excel file and all of the documents. Note the following:
- Do not rename the xlsx template file that is located in the downloaded zip file. It must be uploaded with the same name.
- In the PRE_SPLIT_SPREADSHEET.xlsx file, the FileName column should include the full file name with the file extension and it should match the file that is placed into the folder before you zip it.
- It is recommended that the ZIP file be no larger than 500MB.
- If you are posting to a single fund the filename, investor ID and account ID must be completed. If you are posting to multiple funds the filename, investor ID, account ID and fund ID must be completed.
A record of the upload, called a posting, is created when you add documents using Filesplit. You can view the posting status, and publish and unpublish all documents at the posting level, not at the individual document level.
