This dialog is available by pressing the "Frequency..." button in the Internet Settings Dialog.
When the automatic retrieve feature is enabled this dialog allows you to adjust the following:
|
Minutes |
Fund Manager will automatically retrieve prices at the specified time interval. Fund Manager needs to be left open and running for the retrieve to occur. Retrieve related informational or error notifications requiring user interaction are suppressed for automatically initiated retrieves. This option is memorized in portfolios. (Fund Manager utilizes free quote servers on the internet for retrieving prices. To be considerate of these server's bandwidth please do not set this value lower than necessary. This will help ensure these servers remain available and free.) |
|
From/Until |
Automatic retrieves will only be initiated between these specified times. One intended use is to set this time range so that automatic retrieves will only occur while the market is open. |
|
Suspend While Working |
When automatic retrieve is turned on this option will prevent a retrieve from happening while you are using Fund Manager. In this case the retrieve will be postponed until you have stopped using Fund Manager. Fund Manager assumes you are not using the program if there has been no activity for a period of 60 seconds. This option is memorized in portfolios. |
|
Do Not Retrieve On Weekends |
Prevents an automatic retrieve from occurring on Saturday or Sunday. |
|
Do Not Prompt for Program Updates |
Prevents any prompts to check for available program updates. Select this to not get any message boxes after a price retrieve. Useful when leaving Fund Manager un-attended. You can manually check for program updates anytime by selecting Help / Fund Manager on the Web / Check for Updates.... |
Comments: You can use a "Minutes" value of 1440 (24 * 60) to retrieve once every day. The timer starts from the last time you perform a retrieve.
