Assets toolbar

The Assets view's toolbar contains three control groups. They can be repositioned by dragging their beveled "grip"

and (except for the date control group) hidden by unchecking the corresponding entry in the Toolbar submenu of the view's pop-up menu:

This menu also contains functional equivalents to all buttons in the toolbar (under Dates, Objects and Arrange).

"Dates" group

Use these controls to set start and end dates for the view's Grid, Chart and Graph objects:

	Synchronize dates. When this button is depressed, selecting the Portfolios or Quotes view will cause the selected view to inherit the Assets view's date range.
	First date. Click to set the view's start date = date of first transaction in portfolio.
	First common date. Click to set the view's start date = first common date in portfolio (defined as the date of the most recent initial transaction in a porfolio asset).
	From date. Click the spin button for a calendar. Can be read by expressions throughout the view using the built-in symbol FROM_DATE.
	One frame back. Click to back the view's date range (start and end date) by the current frame length.
	One day back. Click to back the view's date range (start and end date) by one day.
	Days in range. Frame length (start date to end date) in calendar days. Click the spin button for a list of commonly used frame lengths.
	One day forward. Click to advance the view's date range (start and end date) by one day.
	One frame forward. Click to advance the view's date range (start and end date) by the current frame length.
	To date. Click the spin button for a calendar. Can be read by expressions throughout the view using the built-in symbol TO_DATE.
	Last common date. Click to set the view's end date = last common date in portfolio (defined as the date of the oldest last quote for a portfolio asset).
	Last date. Click to set the view's end date = date of last quote for a portfolio asset.

"Objects" group

Use these buttons to toggle the view's Notes object on/off and to create new tiled Chart, Graph and Browser objects:

	Notes. When this button is depressed, the view's Notes object is visible.
	New chart. Click to create a new tiled Chart object using the current default Chart settings.
	New graph. Click to create a new tiled Graph object using the current default Graph settings.
	New browser. Click to create a new tiled Browser object using the current default Browser settings.
	Gallery. Click to open the object Gallery.

"Arrange" group

Use these buttons to auto-arrange the view's tiled objects:

	Cascade. Click to cascade all tiles.
	Tile horizontal. Click to tile horizontally.
	Tile vertical. Click to tile vertically.

Since accidentally auto-arranging a view will disrupt its layout, it's usually a good idea to hide this button group when it's not needed.
