Notes on Column Configuration

  • Each type of view has its own set of “Available Columns”. Many columns can be used in both Watchlists and Portoflios. But portfolios, for example, will have additional columns for information such as purchase price and cost basis, while watchlists will have columns for watch start and watch %.

  • The visible columns for every type of table are always the same. For example, when you change the watchlist’s “Prices” view columns, you change the columns of every Watchlist’s “Prices” view.

  • The order and size of the columns can be different for every table.

  • You can resize a column by dragging the column separator to the left or right.
