Setup Futures Months/Pricing
Futures Months/Pricing is available in this grid. The grid operates much like an Excel spreadsheet. To see more on grid functionality, see Using Grids in Agvance SKY.
If using Grower360, the cash bid visibility can be determined with the Visible in Grower360 checkbox.
Note: The company must be using Barchart and not DTN for this functionality.
New lines can be added to this grid by selecting + Add Row then double-clicking in a cell to enter Edit mode. Once all information has been added, select Done.
Right-Click Options
Some right-click options are available within the grid.
- Copy Down – This copies the highlighted cell to all rows in grid below that cell.
- Copy to selected rows – This copies the highlighted cell to rows in the grid that have been checked.
- Copy to all Commodity/Exchange/Futures Month – This copies just the highlighted cells to all rows in the grid with the same Commodity/Exchange/Futures Month.
Set Column Data
With at least one row checked, select Set Column Data to populate columns in bulk. This is especially helpful if adding multiple rows at a time. Choose the Set Value for the Column indicated and select Set Data.
For FuturesPrice and BasisPrice, options available are Set Price, Increase Price, or Decrease Price. Set Price changes the value in the column to the value entered. Increase and Decrease Price takes into account the current value and increases or decreases that value by the amount entered.
Alternatively, choose Import Information. A window displays where one .txt file can be dragged and dropped or choose browse to find the text file. Select Import to upload the information to the grid. Be sure to review the data for accuracy.
A History Record date can be set to create a record upon selecting Save.
When finished making changes, select Save in the bottom right.
