This is a unique alert, independent of your investment price alerts. Your current alert options will determine how the alert will be sent. This alert only uses the e-mail type of notification.

Allow Summing Values from Different Currencies

Whether or not to sum amounts from investments with different currency types.  If this option is off and the View / Exchange Rate Adjusted option is off, and an object combines values from multiple currencies, N/A will be reported.  For example, a portfolio value will be N/A if that portfolio contains investments using more than 1 currency and the exchange rate adjusted option is off.  This option does not affect graphs.  For example, if you plot a Portfolio Value graph with the View / Exchange Rate Adjusted option off, the plotted values will be summing values from different currencies.  Generally you would want to leave on the View / Exchange Rate Adjusted option when graphing, so that values are all displayed in your default currency.

Allow Multiple Program Instances

Whether or not to allow multiple copies of Fund Manager to run at the same time.  When this option is off and a new copy of Fund Manager is started, the existing copy will be brought to the foreground, instead of starting a new instance.  When this option is on you can run multiple copies of Fund Manager at the same time.  In this case, care should be taken to not be modifying the same data files in different instances of Fund Manager, as only the last instance to save will have the changes saved.

When opening any dialog box, the dialog box will be positioned on the screen where it was last located.  When this option is off dialog boxes will be centered on the screen.
