Custom Columns

[John Lea]

I am curious about how FM users employ the Custom Columns. It seems to me that they can be very useful but so far I have only set three. Buy Price, Date Buy Price was set and Source of the idea.

Hi John Lea,

Are you asking about the custom investment properties? These are the fields you define under "Options / Custom Investment Properties...".

[John Lea]

Yes. I wonder if others have put this feature to a better use than I can think of. I feel like I am missing the potential here.

Hi John Lea,

Here is one example of how you can use this feature:

You can use it to track any information you want, that is related to the investment, and not necessarily any specific transaction.
