About Bonds

Proliance can record comprehensive information about the bonds held by a company. In order to assist users in charge of managing workspaces to assign companies that have the correct bonds, you should ensure that all bonds held by a company are defined in Proliance.

Note: The Bonds document is only available for companies in the Organization and Workspaces work area.

It is important to note that the scope of a bond document and where it will appear depends on where it is defined in Proliance:

Bonds defined in the Companies, Org Companies, Business Units register can be used in any workspace or portfolio. However, any bonds you create in the Organization work area will not appear in any workspace—even on workspaces in which the company holding the bond is already involved—unless you manually add the bond document.

Adding ensures that a link is maintained between bonds in the Organization work area and the workspace. If you need to update information for that bond later on, you need only enter it once in the Organization work area, and then synchronize it to all workspaces in which the bond has been added.

Bonds in the Workspaces work area may have been added to the workspace from companies in the Organization work area, or they may have been specifically defined for the workspace. Bonds created in a workspace have no relationship to the Organization work area or any other workspace.

Bonds that have been added to a workspace may be periodically updated when changes made to the corresponding document in the Organization work area are synchronized to the workspaces. Any changes you have made to that bond in a workspace will be overwritten.
