Client Profile and Multi-Entity Navigation
This article explains how to manage and switch between multiple entities within CNS Treasury, ensuring each profile’s settings, data, and transactions are kept separate.
1. When to Use Multiple Client Profiles
If you manage more than one entity (for example, a New Zealand entity and an Australian entity), you’ll need to switch profiles to:
-
Separate transactions and journal entries by legal entity.
-
Ensure forecasts and exposures are recorded in the correct profile.
-
Apply entity-specific settings, market configurations, and dashboards.
2. How to Switch Between Entities
-
Check Your Current Profile
-
The entity name is shown at the top of your CNS dashboard (e.g., Mentos Ltd).
-
-
Open the Client Profile Menu
-
In the left-hand navigation, select Client Profile.
-
-
Select a New Entity
-
A list of available entities will be displayed (e.g., Mentos Ltd, Mentos Exports, Mentos Bros).
-
Click on the entity you want to switch to.
-
-
Save Your Selection
-
Click Save to confirm.
-
Your dashboard, settings, and data will now reflect the selected entity.
-
3. Example: Different Entity Profiles
-
Mentos Exports Ltd – Exporter profile, selling NZD and buying foreign currencies.
-
Mentos Ltd – Importer profile, buying NZD and selling foreign currencies.
These are completely separate configurations and must be managed independently.
4. Default Profile
-
When you log in, CNS will default to your main client profile.
-
If you need to work in another entity, switch profiles before running reports, entering trades, or updating forecasts.
