Assign Notes within a Symbol List

Did you know Telemet Orion allows you to add free-text notes to any Symbol List?  For example, clients may add Proprietary Rankings; Buy/Hold status; Strategy Names; etc. to each company within an individual list.  The Note field can then be seen on any page as a column for that specific Telemet Symbol List.
1.  Go to Tools>List>Edit and select the Symbol List you wish to add Notes to
2.  Navigate to the Custom Fields tab.  Highlight Note under the Custom Fields box and click on Add so that Note appears in the Selected Fields box.


3.  Next click on the Field Values tab.  From this window, you may add your notes by highlighting the corresponding security in the Symbol List box and typing in the Note box.  Click OK when done with all security notes.


Note: The default for this field is 25 characters and can be increased to 30.  Each Note is restricted to the corresponding symbol list – not the security.

Add Favorite Charts and Pages Directly to the Menu Choices

There are several places within Telemet Orion you may see “Press Shift and Select to Define” listed in menus.  This functionality allows users to add frequently used charts, pages, etc. directly to the menu options – thus saving the step of opening them each time.  You are not limited to only replacing “blank ones” with the above wording, users may overwrite any of the current choices using this feature.


For example, let’s say there is a particular Historical Chart you open often – the Stock Dividend chart.  To set up a direct path to this historical chart on the menu options, follow the below steps:
1. Display>Charts>Historical
2. Hold down the Shift key and with your cursor select the menu item you want to replace with the Stock Dividend Historical Chart



3. The available charts window opens.  Select Stock Dividend and then click OK.


4. The Stock Dividend Chart now appears as an option directly on the Historical Charts menu.
