Since December 2013, the new state-of-the-art Watch platform is available, and already
provides access to your FIN Traffic Analytics and Value Analytics tools. In addition, since
October 2014 you can also access your InterAct Analytics tool on this platform. By the end of
2014, another important milestone was reached. Message Cost Analytics (FIN, FileAct,
InterAct) and FileAct Analytics are now available to you with the easy-to-use wizards.
FileAct enhancements in the new platform
In terms of available data, the new Watch platform is enriched with even more data,
including additional traffic figures (i.e. ISABEL, Equens and EBA Step 2). Below you can find a
visual representation of the metrics and attributes available for FileAct in the new platform.
Just as for FIN Traffic Analytics, access to FileAct data is provided through an intuitive
wizard tool that enables quick and easy querying of information. Through the wizard, users
can select the attributes and metrics they want to have included in their reports. For FileAct,
new and improved attributes include User DN and Counterparty DN1, allowing fine-grained
analysis of FileAct traffic.
To explore the full set of attributes and metrics for FileAct, either log on directly or refer to
the latest version of the Watch Analytics documentation.
1
DN (Distinguished Name): The identification of an entity following the X.500 notation. SWIFTNet identifiers
have the format of a DN. An example is cn=xyz,ou=abc,o=bankbebb,o=swift, in which bankbebb is the 8character BIC, and the other elements at the left form the optional extension. This extension enables detailed
identification by department, geographical location, application, or individual

Users already familiar with the new platform will find it easy and benefit from the new
wizards, while being able to use similar metrics to what is available for FIN and InterAct
reporting.
Once the FileAct wizard has been employed, users can further drill down and analyse the
resulting report.
To explore and take advantage of all new possibilities, we strongly encourage users to make
use of the new platform and to try out the new tool in their day-to-day business activities as
soon as possible.
