Program Icons

The following legend will assist you in identifying  icons and symbols that are commonly used throughout the VectorVest RealTime Program:

 

Close: The Close Icon allows you to close any window you are viewing.

 

Custom Field Builder: The Custom Field Builder icon is located in the upper right corner of the main screen, and is viewable from any section of the program. The Custom Field Builder will allow the user to create unique formulas and combinations using the VectorVest fields. Click here for a complete description of this feature.

 

Detach Icon: The Detach Icon will allow you to detach the item viewed so that it resides in a separate window. The window can then be moved to another location on the screen. The Detach Icon can be found on Graphs, Dashboard Gadgets and Home Page Gadgets, as well as the Home, Viewers, Views, and UniSearch Tabs.

 

Fill Mode Icon: The Fill Mode Icon will maximize the graph display area by hiding the Local Graph Toolbar, Graph Shortcuts and Graph Markers.

 

Group Icon: The Group Icon resembles a folder, and provides a way to categorize WatchLists and Searches.

 

Configure Icon: The Configure icon resembles a wrench, and can be found in almost every section of VectorVest RealTime. This icon allows you to customize an item's settings.

 

Resizing Handle: The Resizing Handle is a series of five dots which allow the user to stretch or shrink the viewing area. To change the viewing area, simply place your cursor over the dots, hold down the left mouse button and drag the bar in the direction you would like the area to move.

 

Scroll bar:The scroll bar can be vertical or horizontal. Click on the arrows at either end to move the screen in the direction of the arrow, or click in the empty area between the arrow and the scroll bar.

 

Show/Hide Arrows: The Show/Hide arrows indicate a panel or directory that can be displayed or hidden from view. Click the arrows or click the item's title bar to show or hide the item.
