Modify Group Dialog: Subgroups

 

The Modify Group Dialog allows you to analyze and change the properties associated with a portfolio or portfolio subgroup. The Subgroups page allows you add and delete subgroups to the selected group.

 

&  For help with groups, see Managing Data with the Portfolio View.

Creating a New Subgroup

To create a new subgroup, press the New… button. This will display the Create Subgroup Dialog where you can indicate the name of the new subgroup.

Changing the Display Order of Subgroups

To change the display order of the subgroups, select a subgroup in the list, then press the Slide Up or Slide Down buttons to move the selected subgroup. You can also use the mouse to drag the subgroups to a new position in the list.

 

&  For help changing the order of items in a list, see the help for Orderable Lists.

Deleting an Existing Subgroup

To delete an existing subgroup, select the subgroup in the list, then press the Delete button. Your action will be confirmed and the subgroup will be deleted, along with any subgroups or data series in it.

M   Warning: Before you delete a subgroup, make sure that you no longer need the data series in it. After deleting a data series, you will not be able to get it back without using the steps you used to create it.

 

Ä    Note: To delete a single data series without deleting the entire group, exit from this dialog and use the context menus in the Portfolio View.
