| 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 data types to
control which data is being viewed in the list:
Notice some data types are indented. These
indented data types are a subset of the higher level
data types. For example, Purchases is a
subset of Share Transactions which is itself a
subset of All Transactions. 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 All
Transactions, Share Transactions, 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. You can select multiple
transactions/prices by using the Shift and Ctrl keys.
Transactions and prices can also be copied and pasted by
using the right mouse menu or the "More >>" 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
General Preferences - Other
Dialog.
This dialog can be resized and various colors/fonts
and other display preferences can be adjusted under
Options / General Preferences... / Data Register Display.
