Most of you will have found the security manager by now. If youhaven't, press F6 to open it up. The security manager allows you tolocate companies by either index, industry group, alphabetically, or bytype. But it's most useful feature is are the WatchLists.

To create a WatchList, right click on the WatchList item and select NewWatchList. Then type in a name for the WatchList. Once created, you canadd companies to the WatchList by typing their ASX codes into the listbelow. You can also create folders to arrange your WatchLists.

Here are several tips for working with WatchLists:
  1. You can create a new WatchList based on an existing group bydragging it onto the WatchList item. Eg: If you want to make your owncustomised ASX50 list, drag the ASX50 Index group onto WatchList. A newwatchlist will be made with those codes, but you can now edit/removecodes.
  2. You can add the codes from one group into an existing WatchListby dragging it onto the WatchList. Use this, for example, to create aWatchList that contains both the Energy and the Materials sectors.
  3. To move securities from one WatchList to another, select the first WatchList then drag the company from the symbol list and drop it onto the second WatchList.For example you may have a list of current trades, and another ofrecent trades. Dragging allows you to easily move a company from one toanother.
  4. If you repeat tip #3, but hold down Ctrl while dragging, a small[+] symbol appears next to the mouse. This will copy the symbol intothe newWatchList, without removing it from the old one. In general the [+] symbol means "copy instead of move".
  5. You can drag symbol from scan results onto a WatchList, or from the symbol box to a WatchList.
  6. You can move a WatchList into a different folder by dragging it onto that folder.
  7. Alternatively, if you hold Ctrl while dragging a WatchList onto afolder, a copy of the WatchList is made. Again the [+] sign appears toindicate a copy.
Thoughtful arrangement of WatchLists and folders can greatly aid your daily task of reviewing securities.

A final note: By default BullScan will scan on all "Ordinary"securities. You can change this group. If you want the scans to scan onone of your WatchLists (or any other group) by default, right click onthat item and select "Default Scan Group". Now every BullScan (thatdoes not have its security groups explicly set) will scan on thatWatchList instead of on "Ordinaries".
