Spreads Window Toolbar

Near the top of Neovest's Spreads window is a horizontal row of features and icons that is referred to in Neovest as the Spreads window toolbar.

The icons in the Spreads window toolbar are designed to let you access a Neovest feature or window with a single click.

The following table describes the function for each of the features and icons in Neovest's Spreads window toolbar but does not explain in detail the windows that may be accessed by clicking on certain icons. As questions arise concerning any of the features or windows discussed in the following table, refer to the "Spreads" chapter in Neovest's Help documentation for further assistance.

Feature:	Description:
Link/Unlink Window	Lets you link or unlink a Spreads window to or from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen. All open Neovest windows that are linked will load the same symbol; therefore, if you double-click on a symbol displayed in an open Neovest QuoteWatch window, then a Spreads window will automatically load the same symbol. As you click on the "Link Window" icon, the image of the link will change to appear either intact or broken. If the link appears intact, then a Spreads window is linked to other Neovest windows that are open on your screen; if it appears broken, then it is not linked. Note: For information regarding linking a Spreads window to "All" open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel, refer to the following "All" instructions in this table.
All	Lets you choose to link a Spreads window to "All" open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel. Neovest provides 20 different channels to which you may link windows. For instance, you may choose to link two open Neovest windows to channel "1," which will cause the two windows and any other windows that are linked to "All" to automatically load the same symbol. All other open Neovest windows that are not linked to "All" or to channel "1" will not load the same symbol. Note: For information regarding why you may wish to link and unlink a Spreads window to and from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen, refer to the preceding "Link/Unlink Window" instructions in this table.
Ref. ID: (Reference ID)	Lets you enter a reference ID to be used as the search criteria. The reference ID will then be used to locate and display only those orders in the Spreads window that are associated with the entered reference ID. Once you enter a reference ID in this field, simply press Enter, or click Search on the Spreads window toolbar. Note: You may utilize reference IDs as identifiers to distinguish individual orders after they are sent from a Neovest Order Entry ticket window or from a Neovest Montage or Order Entry Montage window using Action Buttons and appearing in a Neovest Allocation & Bunching window.

Note: You may remove the toolbar in any Neovest window by pressing Alt+T. Once the toolbar has been removed, simply press Alt+T again to restore the toolbar.

Further features may be accessed by clicking the gear icon, located on the far-right of the toolbar.
