The user can use these pre-defined settings to add new symbols quickly without needing to manually complete each field.
For example, if the user wants to add the ES#F symbol from eSignal and the Symbol Dictionary has the ES symbol root defined, then QuoteManager will recognize the ES root symbol and automatically fill in the contract specifications.
The contract specifications are important because the specifications are used to plot the chart and calculate dollar amounts.
# Add a new symbol into QuoteManager. Make sure the new symbol's root is the same as the symbol root in Symbol Dictionary. See [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /101_Symbol_List.html name="1"; |Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List]] for more information.
# Open the Edit Symbol Window.<br>'''Opening Edit Symbol Window'''
## Double-click the symbol in the symbol list, or## Select the symbol in the symbol list, then select '''Symbol''' in the main menu and select '''Edit Symbol''', or## Right-click on the symbol and select '''Edit Symbol'''.<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Edit Symbol window is already open in Step 1. It is possible to leave it open and continue working with it.</div>
# Select the '''Settings''' tab in the Edit Symbol window.
# In the '''Settings Source''' section, select the '''Use Symbol Dictionary Settings''' radio button to use the symbol root's contract specifications in Symbol Dictionary.
