  1. Subject: sitara position
  2. please use the position manager home button .
  3. when using the sitara position manager , and you drill down to view details
  4. or change the dates , the position manager keeps
  5. all your views running in the background . this feature allows you to use the
  6. back and forward buttons to keep your views running .
  7. on the downside , if you keep these views running but do not really intend to
  8. go back to look at them , the system and your pc are working harder
  9. to keep all the old views active and updated .
  10. the home button sends you back to your default view - the first view you had
  11. up when you hit apply . by clicking this button , your
  12. position manager will clear out the old views the next time you drill in .
  13. this is the only way to clear out the old views that you no longer need .
  14. if you do not use the home key , and keep drilling in and changing the dates ,
  15. the position manager is still keeping all the your views for
  16. the day running in the backgound .
  17. what we have found is by the end of the day , a user that does not clear out
  18. the old views can have well over 30 views open , which is like having
  19. 30 position managers up on your pc . when that user closes down , the position
  20. gets locked up for a while as it tries to clear out all the old views .
  21. we will be making some changes soon to that should resolve this issue as far
  22. as the sitara machine is concerned ; however , your pc may still be
  23. slow with excessive unneccessary views open . we could make a change to
  24. limit the number of active views you can have open , but at this time
  25. i am not sure that is necessary ; regardless , in the mean time , please
  26. remember to use your home button .
  27. other helpful hints -
  28. did you know you can shrink you tool bar ? tools options - uncheck show tool
  29. bar text labels -
  30. did you know you can split your position screen to have pipes on top and
  31. zones and meters below ? tools options - show drill down second panel -
  32. if you have an omicron position porfolio - your min / max button shows you
  33. actual - and min / max for your day swing deals .
  34. same works for nom flex portfolio .
