When you choose to search for an investment when adding a holding to a client's portfolio a pop up screen will appear where you can search for the holdings.

  • If you are adding multiple holdings using the Quick Entry method the "Multiple Security Selection" screen appears (as shown above).

  • If you are adding a single holding using the Purchases method the "Security Selection" screen appears. The features on this page differ slightly as you can only select the one investment to add to the portfolio.

Investment holdings can be searched for by a description or code. Alternatively you can use the filters options to search for investments within a product list or by exchange etc.

  1. Enter the description or code of the investment into the Search by code or description text box.

  2. Click on the Search button and a list of investments that match the text entered into the search box are displayed in the Search Results panel.
