It generates a Microsoft Excel sheet that you can submit directly to your regulatory authority. The file strictly adheres to the format of the template issued by the regulatory authority and includes all necessary details for reporting your third-party engagements.

Starting with version 20.x.x of Digital Operational Resilience Management, you can see choice or reference values in the downloaded Microsoft Excel files. For example, Departments can be created in the system as 'Research and Development'. When the functions are downloaded, department values are displayed as options in the Microsoft Excel template for selection. The template includes drop-down lists for departments, business units, and other yes or no questions (as seen in the Branch template). Additional drop-downs are added for countries, currencies, etc.

The application also handles translations for meta data, including headers and drop-down options.

Ensure that no duplicate records are present after downloading data for Legal entities, Functions, etc. When downloading the template, ensure that there are no duplicate Third party rows. For example, creating one DORA Third party and two DORA entities, then creating DORA contracts for the same vendor using the same entity, result in only one Third party row in the downloaded template and not two duplicate rows. You can add new entities and enter their LEI (even if not in the drop-down list) in the downloaded contract file without needing to download the contract records again. You can upload the modified contract records back to the application.
