Question

Answer

The above settings are recommended.  The "Ask Me" options allow you to specify whether you will share the chart (or quotepage) definition each time you share.  Sharing the definition enables other users to import your chart or quotepage.

Once you've setup the sharing preferences, click the "OK" button.  Now right-click on the chart and "Share Picture".  If you use the recommended settings above, you will now see a couple of prompts.  One will ask you if you want to share the definition.  Another will ask you to provide a comment/description of the chart.

An image of your chart will then be published on www.charthub.com.  A browser window will appear displaying the image (and a link to the definition, if applicable) .  The URL (web page address) is copied to the clipboard automatically.  You can then paste the URL into an email to another user or to Linn Software Support (or paste it into a chat or IM window).  If you are sharing the chart with Linn Software support, please copy and paste the URL/address of the shared chart into an email to support (instead of just saying "it's up there").  If you have any questions on how to import the chart's definition, click here.

If you use the Share Picture command often, you can make the Share Picture command quickly accessible by defining a function key shortcut. Go to Setup: Preferences: Keyboard shortcuts; pick the function key, e.g. F2, and pick “Save” as the action. From the menu of Save action choices, pick “Share Picture”. Click Ok. Thereafter, anytime you wish to share the front window, press F2. Note that the Share Picture feature applies to almost all windows in Investor/RT, not just charts and quotepages.
