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.
