This dialog is available from the Edit / Internet Retrieve / Sectors... menu command.
See our Video Tutorial on Using Categories in Fund Manager.
Use this command to retrieve sector allocation information from the internet and update investments in the selected sub-portfolio. The following options are available:
|
Retrieve for Portfolio: |
Select the sub-portfolio to update. Only investments in this sub-portfolio will be updated from the retrieve. |
|
Reset All... |
Press this button to change all the investments in the selected sub-portfolio to the sector named "<uncategorized>". |
|
Retrieve From: |
Choose an internet source to retrieve sector allocation information.
Some sources may have different data available. See the displayed
"tip" when you select a particular source. When retrieving data from
any source, the symbol investment
property is used to request the sector information.
Yahoo: This server updates sector information only for stock investment types. Any investment that is not a stock will not be modified.
|
|
If Retrieve Fails: |
Specify an action to take on an investment that was attempted to be updated,
but failed for any reason. This option only affects investments that
are actually attempted to be retrieved and fail. Investments that are
not one of the supported investment types (stock/fund) are not modified
during retrieval, as they are not available and will not be requested from
the source server. (You can use the "Reset All..." button to change
these to <uncategorized> if desired.)
Change investments to <uncategorized>: Investments that were attempted, but failed to update will be assigned to the "<uncategorized>" sector
Leave investments un-changed: Investments that were attempted, but failed to update will not be modified
|
|
Skip Updating Hidden Investments |
When this option is on, any investments marked with the hidden property will be skipped. No changes will be made to these investments. |
|
Skip Updating Investments With Price Retrieve Disabled |
When this option is on, any investments with the Retrieve Price property turned off will be skipped. No changes will be made to these investments. |
When performing a retrieve, if the sector labels are not consistent with the labels used by the selected internet source you will be prompted for permission to reset the sector labels. If you wish to retrieve sector information and also use customized sector labels, only change the names of the "Unused" sectors.
You can set any investment to not retrieve its sectors by turning on: "Investment Properties... / Asset Type / Do Not Update When Retrieving Sectors". This may be useful when you prefer to manually assign sectors for an investment.
