Update Options Dialog

The Update Options Dialog allows you to modify the data that will be updated during an import. These options are only used when Update data in the target group is selected on the Import Data Wizard: Select Type page.

&  For help importing data, see Importing and Exporting Data.

Modifying the Update Options

The following options can be modified for an update.

Ä    Note: These settings will only be used for this specific update.

þ    Include data that is not marked for updating with this group.

This option overrides deselecting the Update when group is updated setting on the Modify Data Dialog: Properties page. In other words, this option forces the data to be updated regardless of that setting.

þ    Re-import and overwrite previous data.

This option indicates to include the specified number of previous bars in the update.

:    Example: The daily data being updated is one day out-of-date and this box is selected with the value set to 2 bars. The update will import three days worth of data – the last two days of the current data and the one new day.

Ä    Note: TradingSolutions fields keep track of the state of their calculations for the last date in each data series. If you overwrite previous data, predictions and other fields work from previous values will need to recalculate from the beginning of the data series. This can cause the calculations after an import to take significantly longer than after a normal update.

Ä    Note: For updates from Prophet Finance, if the collection of data being updated has different periodicities or ending dates, all values from that number of bars before the earliest end date will be updated.

Ä    Note: For updates from files, all previous data will be re-imported if this option is selected.

þ    Keep these settings for future updates.

This option indicates to preserve these settings for each import. If this option is not selected, these options will only be used for this import.
