Selecting securities and transaction types

You can find fields for choosing a security or choosing a transaction type in several parts of FA Portfolio. For example, the fields can found in the Transaction, Report and Corporate action window, as well as in the Overview or Securities and Transactions views. The fields always function the same way regardless of where the field is situated.

Selecting a security

You can choose the securities from a drop-down menu, in which the securities are listed in an alphabetical order based on the security name. The securities are listed based on the security type in the order that is defined in the Preferences - Security types: for example, if the security type "Stock" is defined above the security type "Bond", the securities of the type stock are listed before the securities of the type bond. Within the security type, the securities searched are listed in an alphabetical order based on the security name. Also, the security code, ISIN code and security currency are shown after the security name in the menu.

  • Browsing the list in the drop-down menu.
