Info


Field

Description

Display Name

The display name must be alphanumeric (A-Z, 0-9), may include an underscore (_) or hyphen (-), and have a maximum of 50 characters. Additionally, it must be unique across the entire network.

Entity Type

This can be a Master Agent or an Agent and will be automatically prefilled according to the entity owner.

Entity Owner

This is the display name of the entity owner and will be automatically prefilled.

Currency

The currency list is the same as the one available for the entity owner.

  • Agent entities can only have one currency.

  • Master Agent entities can have multiple currencies. To enable more than one currency for the Master Agent, the operator needs to request this ability from their Account Manager during or after the Head Office deployment. Once this ability is enabled, all Master Agents in the network will be able to have more than one currency, for both existing and new Master Agents, and it cannot be changed back.

  • Disabled Head Office Currencies - If the Head Office has disabled a currency, the user will not be able to create an entity with that currency. Furthermore, if the Head Office is defined solely with the disabled currency, the + button next to the Head Office in the Users Management grid will not be visible.

    • Disabled Master Agent Currencies - The Master Agent will not be able to create a new Agent with using the disabled currency.

Truncate Currency (Available for Agents)


This checkbox is only available when the created Agent is a non-LVCS Single Wallet Agent and the selected currency is weak. When this checkbox is checked, the balance of the Agent is considered truncated on APIs and Single Wallet’s Transactions Audit report.

Once the user or administrator creating an Agent selects this checkbox and saves the parameters, the action becomes permanent and cannot be reversed. The checkbox will visually remain checked but will be disabled in the Entity Information page, preventing any further alterations. If the checkbox is not enabled during Agent creation, it will not be available for modification later.
