# Severity, Status and Document State: A Glossary

## Cascade uses a number of status labels that look similar but mean quite different things. This article collects them in one place.

### **Data validation severity**

Seen on **Data \> Data Validation**.

| **Severity** | **Meaning** | **What to do** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Quarantined** | The failure affects key fields and would compromise downstream processing. Affected records are held back. | Treat as blocking. Fix at source or agree a mapping change. |
| **Warning** | Records still process, but the values are questionable. | Investigate. A high and persistent warning count is a real problem, not noise. |

**Validation test status**

| **Status** | **Meaning** |
| --- | --- |
| **Active** | The test is running against each pipeline execution. |
| **Inactive** | The test is configured but not currently being applied. |

#### **Validation categories**

| **Category** | **Tests for** |
| --- | --- |
| **Business Logic** | Internal coherence — date order, sign of amounts, schedules reconciling to disbursements. |
| **Missing or Duplicate** | Records absent where they should exist, or present more than once. |
| **Reconciliation** | Derived values that disagree with the underlying transactions. |
| **Data Drift** | Values that moved between tape versions in ways that were not expected. |

#### **Document status**

Seen on **Manage \> Monitor \> Actions \> Document Centre**.

| **Status** | **Meaning** |
| --- | --- |
| **OVERDUE** | The document's event date has passed and the obligation is unmet. |
| **Due** | The document is required and its date is approaching. |
| **Signature Required** | The document exists but is awaiting signature. |
| **Signed** | All required signatures are in place. |

#### **Advance request status**

| **Status** | **Meaning** |
| --- | --- |
| **Awaiting Other Signature(s)** | The request has been raised and signed by at least one party; others are outstanding. |
| **Signed / Not Funded** | Fully executed but the capital has not yet moved. |

#### **Audit status**

| **Level** | **Status** | **Meaning** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Audit** | Evidence Required | The audit has been generated and the borrower has not yet supplied documentation. |
| **Item** | FLAGGED | Selected by the sampling algorithm; no evidence supplied yet. |
| **Item** | REVIEW REQUIRED | Evidence supplied and awaiting the investor's assessment. |

#### **Upload status**

Seen on **Administration \> Data Sources**.

| **Status** | **Meaning** |
| --- | --- |
| **Processed** | Accepted and mapped. |
| **In Review** | With Cascade for checking, usually because something did not map cleanly. |
| **N/A** | Nothing uploaded for this entity yet. |

#### **Onboarding status**

| **Status** | **Meaning** |
| --- | --- |
| **Complete** | Every step in that workstream is finished. |
| **In Progress** | At least one step is outstanding. Expand the in-progress step to see which sub-item is blocking. |

#### **User status and roles**

| **Label** | **Meaning** |
| --- | --- |
| **Active** | The user can sign in. |
| **Inactive** | Access suspended; the account and its audit trail are retained. |
| **admin** | Full access including user management and configuration. |
| **staff** | Limited access by permission; cannot edit or upload documents. |
| **custom** | Access set page by page and analytics category by analytics category. |

#### **Covenant chart colours**

Seen on **Manage \> Monitor \> Portfolio Covenants**.

| **Colour** | **Meaning** |
| --- | --- |
| **Green** | No trigger breached in that period. |
| **Red** | A trigger was breached. |
| **Grey** | The period was not a test period. |
| **Blue line** | The trigger level itself. |

#### **Dates in the filter bar**

| **Field** | **Meaning** |
| --- | --- |
| **Loan Tape As Of** | The date of the loan data the page is calculating from. |
| **Financials As Of** | The date of the financial statements the page is calculating from. |
| **Bank Data As Of** | The date of the most recent bank balance feed. 'Unavailable' means no bank connection is delivering data. |
| **Last Updated** | When Cascade last ran the pipeline producing this page. |
| **Calculation Date** | The date you are asking Cascade to calculate as at. |
| **Effective Date** | On an export, the date of the data the file was built from. |
| **Generation Date** | On an export, when the file itself was produced. |

 

The distinction that causes the most confusion is **Last Updated** against **As Of**. A recent Last Updated with an old As Of means the pipeline ran successfully but the source data has not moved — a data recency issue, not a calculation issue.
