Investor/RT maintains more than 100 data items for each instrument, depending on the data service in use and type of instrument (Stocks, Futures..)
A quote page may display up to 30 of these data items at one time as columns in the spreadsheet. To make it convenient to switch quote pages from one set of data columns to another, Investor/RT allows the user to define quote page formats. A format is simply a list of column identifiers in the left to right sequence in which they will appear across the quote page. Each format has a name to identify it. Investor/RT has 12 built-in formats that serve as samples. These formats may be used "as is" or they may be modified or deleted. The user may create any number of new formats.
To add, modify, or delete a format, choose Setup:Preferences:Quote Page Formats or click the Preferences icon on the main toolbar and select the Quote Page Format section of the preferences window (see Figure 13). Choose the format name you wish to modify or choose New Format to make a new one. Choose data items from the list on the left to construct a list of columns on the right. Adjust the order of the items on the right if appropriate. The top most items will be left most in the quote page when the format is displayed. Press Save to save the format. Use Save As to make a new format from an existing one.
To display an open quote page in a different format, click the Change Format icon on the quote page toolbar. If you later save the quote page, the new format will be saved as a property of the quote page. Saving a quote page normally takes place when you close a quote page window whose properties have been modified. If you elect to discard the changes to the quote page, the original format will be retained.
To quickly see what type of data is available for a given instrument and datafeed, right click on the ticker name and select "Getinfo"
Please note that most of these market data items listed below are only relevant for STOCKS when using DTN IQ feed as data source.
