New Additions to Stock Rover

Overview

We are continually improving and refining Stock Rover, based on your feedback and our own vision for the product. As we develop new capabilities, we add them into the product automatically on a regular basis. In this blog post I want to do a roll up of the new things we have added to the product in the last couple of months.

Filter Toolbar

We have added a much more intuitive way to show when columns in the Table have filters applied. One of the most common questions we get in support is  “Why are not all my stocks showing in the Table?”.  The reason is usually because filtering has been applied to one or more of the columns and the user is unaware of the filters. So we re-engineered the product to be more helpful and make it more obvious when filters are applied. The result is a new Filter Toolbar which makes it much easier to see and remove filters for the Table. The screenshot below shows an example of this. Note when a column is filtered, the column label is also bolded and italicized.

Clicking on the “x” next to the filter or on the blue funnel to the left will allow you to easily remove one or more Table filters. When all filters are removed on a table, the Filter Bar disappears.

Note you add a filter by hovering over a column header with your mouse, clicking on the down-arrow that appears and selecting Filters from the ensuing menu as shown below.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Stock Rover has a set of useful keyboard shortcuts to make it fast and easy to do common tasks within the Stock Rover application.

The keyboard shortcuts can be viewed from the account pull down menu as seen in the screenshot below.

The keyboard shortcuts are as follows:

Alt-G	Expand/Collapse Grey Selector Menu
Alt-N	Expand/Collapse Navigation Panel
Alt-T	Switch to Table
Alt-C	Switch to Chart
Alt-I	Switch to Insight
Alt-A	Switch to All
Alt-R	Resize Columns to Fit
Alt-D	Detach the Window
Alt-S	Export the Table
Alt-H	Display Help

New Metrics

Summary

So that will cover this round of improvements to Stock Rover. Nothing huge, but a lot of little improvements that we hope you find useful in helping you become more productive with Stock Rover. For those that want something huge, check out our blog post on Stock Rover Research Reports.

We are working hard to continually improve Stock Rover to make it the best possible product for your investment needs. We make changes incrementally to the product, rather than in one giant release so we can get the changes to you faster. Periodically we will blog about the changes we have made since the last blog so you can be aware of what is new and available to you in the product. Stay tuned to this channel for future updates!
