Customer Registration File

A listing of all potential Customers in Helix for a given program with these qualities (as of the effective date of the file):

  • Entered an Initiated status on that date -- registration was started, but abandoned before answering the challenge questions (if enabled for your program)
  • Marked as Expired on that date -- registration was never completed in the allowed timeframe (typically 14 days)
  • Marked as Denied on that date -- registration was completed but "too much" information was invalid, therefore a human does not need to review
  • Entered a Manual Review status on that date -- registration was completed but "some" information was invalid and a human must review
  • Remained in a Manual Review status the entire time during that date
  • Moved from Initiated to Verified status on that date -- registration was completed successfully without human review
  • Moved from Manual Review to Verified status on that date -- registration was completed successfully after a human reviewed it

iCustomers in this file with a status of Initiated, Verified, Expired or Denied will not appear in files for subsequent dates.
NOTE: On the day a customer is verified, he or she will appear in both this file and the Customer File for that day.

Customer Registration File Definition

The Customer Registration File is created by Helix on a daily basis. It has the following properties:

  1. Exactly one tab-delimited header line.
  2. Zero or more tab-delimited content lines
  3. A tab character (\t, or 0x09) embedded in actual text content will be replaced with a space character (" ", or 0x20) during file generation
  4. This file is tab-delimited to help reduce the size of file as it may grow considerably over time and possibly contain large sections of empty columns.
  5. ANSI encoded
  6. Line endings are Windows-style CarriageReturn + LineFeed (\r\n, or 0x0D0A)
  7. File will be available in the relative directory of /CustomerRegistration
  8. File name follows a specific, case-sensitive pattern of: yyyyMMddhhmm_CUSTOMERREGISTRATION.TXT

🚧

Format Disclaimer
Helix reserves the right to append new field(s) to the end of any Header or Content line without notice. This is to allow new data points to be added as needed in a timely fashion.

Implementation Note
Your code should be written such that unexpected characters after the "last" field but prior to the end of each line should be ignored. That is, if the file is documented as having 30 tabs per line, receiving a file with 31 or more per line should not disrupt your processing. This applies to both Header and Content lines.

File Name Disclaimer
The date in file name should be used as a guideline for human eyes only. Any date-related programmatic dependencies should rely on the FileCreatedDate or FileEffectiveDate contained within the header line of each file, as these will be precise to the second and will be in the appropriate timezone.
