Data Register Tutorial
The
Data Register is where you can enter or modify pricing
and transaction data for all your investments. The
Data Register is available by choosing Edit / All Data...
from the menu or selecting the
button on the toolbar. You can also access the Data
Register or record any transaction for an investment by
right mouse clicking on that investment, and choosing
the appropriate menu command. The Data Register
looks like this: |
| You can work with any investment by choosing the
desired Sub-Portfolio and Investment from
the boxes along the top. Under the "Data
Type" combo box there are 5
top level data types:
The 5 top level data types are Prices,
Investments (all), Distributions
(all), Splits,
and Alerts. You can also
select one of the sub-categories, like
"Purchases",
which is a sub-set of "Investments
(all)". Notice the sub-data types
are indented. The selected data type specifies
what data is being displayed.
Select the data type you wish to work with. For
example, to record a new purchase, select either "Investments (all)"
or "Purchases" and then press the
"New..." button to record a new transaction. To
modify an existing transaction, select it from the
displayed data, and choose the "Edit..." or "Delete"
button.
Notice the
icon in the "Date"
column header. This arrow indicates the
sort order of the data list. You can
control this by clicking on any column's
header to sort by that column. Clicking
on the same column header again, switches
the sort order between ascending and
descending. When sorting by ascending,
the arrow icon will be facing up, instead
of down. You can also adjust the width of
any of these columns by clicking and
dragging on the edge of any of the column
headers. You can also adjust the order of
these columns, by using your mouse to
drag any column header to a new desired
location. Column sizes and order are
memorized for future Fund Manager sessions. The
initial selection for data type can be customized in the
Preferences - Other
Dialog.
