The Transactions Menu

The transactions menu allows you to display all the transactions that apply to your portfolio and perform the different transactions on a specified security:

The transactions menu is just one set of menu options on the entire XSM menu bar. The overview provides a complete top level list of all menus.

Display

The transactions display window provides a full summary for all the transactions within the current portfolio. For each security within the portfolio, where there is at least one transaction, that security will be shown with all the applicable transaction types. By default all transactions are shown, but this behavior may be modified by using the 'Transaction Types' menu to specify the precise transactions of interest.

The order that the transactions are shown in is by default alphabetic, but this may be changed with the 'Ordering' menu so that the ordering can be on the basis of the date or the value of the transaction.

If you wish to see the transactions for a specific period in time, then use the 'Dates' option on the 'Project' menu to specify the date range.

Close the window with the 'Close' option on the 'Project' menu.
