Scroll View

Scroll View

Scroll View shows you each chart in your ChartList in an infinite feed. It provides a great way to quickly browse through all of the charts in your ChartList, making minor edits to the charts and the ChartList itself.

Accessing the Scroll View

From Your Dashboard, you can select “Scroll View” from the “View As” dropdown next to the ChartList you wish to view. Alternately, you can switch to Scroll View format from other ChartList formats, such as Summary, GalleryView or CandleGlance by selecting “Scroll View” from the “View List As” dropdown.

Using the Scroll View

At the top of the page, you can use the “Select List” dropdown to choose a different ChartList to display. As you scroll down, more of your charts will be loaded, until all the saved charts on your list are displayed on the page.

To view the ChartList in a different format, such as CandleGlance or Seasonality view, use the “View List As” dropdown above the chart.

Chart Sizing Options

Directly above the first chart on the page is an “Auto-Size Charts” checkbox. When this box is checked, the charts will automatically shrink so that the entire chart fits in your browser window. This is great for viewing charts on mobile devices.

When the box is unchecked, the charts will remain full size regardless of the size of your browser window, meaning you may need to scroll from side to side to see the whole chart.

Note: To annotate your charts from within the Scroll View, the “Auto-Size Charts” checkbox must be unchecked.

The Actions Menu

For additional functionality, click the “Actions” button to the right of a chart's title. From this menu, you can:

  • Edit Chart Settings - This loads the chart in the SharpCharts Workbench. Clicking directly on the chart will also take you to the SharpCharts Workbench.
  • Annotate - This loads ChartNotes so you can annotate your chart. Remember, the “Auto-Size Charts” checkbox must be unchecked in order to annotate.
  • Delete - This deletes the chart from your ChartList.
  • Additional Charts - The links in this section allow you to display the chart as a SharpChart, P&F Chart, GalleryView Chart, Seasonality Chart or PerfChart.
  • More Resources - These links show you summary information, historical data, recent data adjustments and a selection of articles that mention the main ticker symbol for the chart.

You can also delete a chart from the ChartList by hovering the mouse cursor over the upper right corner of the chart. A trash can icon will become visible; clicking on it will delete the chart from the ChartList.

Note: Clicking the trash can will delete the chart immediately; it will not ask you to confirm that you want to delete it. Use this feature with caution.

Editing the ChartList

While Edit View provides the most comprehensive set of editing tools for your ChartList, some editing can be done directly from the Scroll View:

  • Click on the chart's title directly above the chart to edit it. Click the “Save” button once you've made your changes.
  • Add or edit comments for the chart by clicking in the box directly below the chart. Click the “Save” button once you've made your changes.
  • Similarly, you can add or edit notes for the entire ChartList by clicking in the “ChartList Notes” box at the bottom of the screen. Click the “Save” button once you've made your changes.

For more editing functionality, use the “Edit List” button at the top of the screen to load the ChartList in Edit view.

The “Delete List” and “New List” buttons can be used to delete the current ChartList and create a new ChartList, respectively.
