Use the Financials module to create financial content, such as daily stocks, bonds, index, or commodity pricing.

Financial content is often acquired through an existing data feed using a parser agent to ensure current data. However, in cases where you want to report closing market values, you can enter financial data manually. You can also indicate whether a market closes due to holidays or other events.

Financial playlists are managed using the Financial Playlists module that is accessed by selecting the Financials > Playlists tab.

You can create and manage your financials in Chameleon. From the Home page, select Content Control > Financials.

Financial Topics and Playlists

In Chameleon, each Financial item such a stock must belong to a single group. These financial groups are called Topics. On the other hand, financial items can belong to more than one Playlist.

Managing Financial Data

You can choose to manage Financial Data either by Topics or Playlists. By default, the Topics page is shown first. Select a Topic from the list to add or manage the financial items that are associated with the topic.

To change to Playlists, click on the Topics drop-down box and select the 'Playlist' option. This will switch the page to prompt for a Playlist instead of a Topic. Select a playlist from the list to add or manage the financial items that are associated with the playlist.

Select a topic from the drop-down list control.
To add a new financial item, click the Add New button.

When Chameleon is configured to support dynamic fields, your existing financial data can be supplemented with additional custom data fields. Some fields may be set up for you already. You can also create new custom fields on the fly as you need them. Click on the Add Dynamic Fields option which will pop-up the Dynamic Fields Editor.

Add New Financial Data in Playlist view

You can also add new financial items in the Playlist view. The difference from adding in the Topic view is that in the Playlist view, along with a new financial item added to a topic, a new playlist item that references the newly created financial item will be appended to the current playlist.
