Using the ChartList Library

The ChartList Library allows members to browse through their own saved charts to find the one they're looking for. While you can quickly access a saved chart by name using the dropdown menus above the chart in the SharpCharts Workbench, the ChartList Library gives you more options for finding charts, including thumbnails of each saved chart and the ability to search by keyword.

The ChartList Library allows you to quickly browse your saved charts.

Accessing the ChartList Library

From the SharpCharts Workbench, choose "ChartList Library" in the panel menu below the chart.

The ChartList Library can be accessed using the menu below the chart.

Grid View

By default, the library shows thumbnail images of your saved charts in Grid View.

The Grid view of the ChartList Library shows thumbnails of your saved charts.

Use the Thumbnail Size slider at the top of the library to change the size of the thumbnails.

List View

If you would prefer to see a list of saved chart names instead, you can switch to List View using the tabs at the top left of the ChartList Library.

You can also search your saved charts by keyword using the "Search ChartList Library" box at the top right of either Grid View or List View.

Loading Saved Charts from the ChartList Library

Once you have browsed or searched to find the saved chart you wish to view, mouse over the chart's thumbnail image (Grid View) or chart's name (List View), and click the Up Arrow icon to load that chart in the SharpCharts Workbench.

In List View, you can preview the saved chart before loading it in the workbench, by clicking on the saved chart name. A preview of the chart will be shown on the right side of the ChartList Library.

To load the saved chart in the workbench from List View, either mouse over the saved chart's name and click the Up Arrow icon, or if you are already previewing the chart, just click the green "Load Chart" button below the preview image.

Mouse over the saved chart name in List View and click the up arrow to load the chart in the workbench.

Loading Saved Charts with a Different ChartStyle

When you click on a symbol on your ChartList, your saved chart for that symbol will be loaded by default. Sometimes, it can be helpful to view a chart for that symbol using a different ChartStyle. For example, if the saved charts on your ChartList are all daily charts, and you want to browse through weekly charts for those symbols, you'll want to use a different ChartStyle.

To do this, change the displayed chart (it doesn't need to be one of the saved charts) to match the weekly style you want. Then, check the Load Symbol Only checkbox at the top of the ChartList. After making these changes, click on the Up Arrow icon for symbols in your ChartList as usual. Each chart will be displayed in the weekly style you set up in the first step.

Note: This functionality temporarily loads the chart in a different ChartStyle; the style of your saved chart remains unchanged.

To go back to loading the saved versions of your ChartList charts, simply uncheck the Load Symbol Only checkbox.

Managing Saved Charts from the ChartList Library
