QuotePages
QuotePages are an integral aspect of Investor/RT. QuotePages are essentially the Investor/RT equivalent of dynamic spreadsheets. Each row of the quotepage contains an instrument (stock, future, index, etc.) and each column of the quotepage contains specific data regarding the instruments (Change, Last, Volume, etc.). A typical quotepage can be seen below.
The above quotepage displays a list of 10 stocks, displaying the following columns for each one: Ticker, %Change, Change, Low, Last, High, and Volume. Each quotepage can have up to 30 columns, chosen from a list over 100 available data items.
Let's walk through the basics of setting up a quotepage such as the one above.
First, click on the QP 
(QuotePage) button in the Main Toolbar and choose "New
QuotePage". A new "Untitled" QuotePage should appear
along with a helper window entitled "Add to QuotePage".
Let's close the "Add to QuotePage" window for now. You
should be looking at a blank spreadsheet with one blank row. Let's
first add 9 more rows by hitting the "Insert" key on the
keyboard 9 times. Now we have 10 rows in which to insert our
symbols. Let's now simply add our symbols by typing in the ticker
into the "Ticker" column of the quotepage and then pressing
"Enter". Enter the 10 symbols seen above.
Once you have done this, and provided you have your
data feed set up correctly and started, you should see data for these ten
symbols. If the market is open, you should see the information
changing dynamically as new quotes arrive. Now you should save your
quotepage. Click on the "Save QuotePage" button 
in the quotepage toolbar and give your new quotepage a name, such as
"myQuotePage". You will now be able to access this
quotepage at any time in the future by choosing "QP" from the
main toolbar, then "User QuotePage: myQuotePage".
