Symbols in the Scanner can be linked to a chart plot. After linking, the selected symbol in the Scanner can be easily plotted by simply clicking on the symbol in the Scanner. The symbol will plot automatically in the chart.
# Create a Chart window using any symbol.
# Create a Scanner window within the same or different workspace.
# Select the '''Instrument Link''' [[File:LinkingSymbol.gifpng]] button on the '''Instrument''' column header in the Scanner. Select a color. # Select the '''Instrument Link''' [[File:LinkingSymbol.gifpng]] button on the Status Line of the Chart window to be linked. Select the same color as the color chosen in the Scanner. #: <div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: The '''Instrument Link''' [[File:LinkingSymbol.gifpng]] button will not appear if it is hidden in the Status Line settings.</div>
# In the Scanner window select a cell that contains a symbol's ticker. The chart for the symbol will be plotted in the Chart window.
