1. Adding the stock screener to the dashboard
How to add the module to your dashboard:
- Click on “Modules” in the top navigation bar.
- Select “Screener”.
- Click on “Stock Screener”.
The module can then be positioned and used in the dashboard as usual.
2. Using the stock screener
2.1 Filtering by stock exchange and sector
At the top of the module you will find the “Filter” section. Here you can use the two drop-down menus to select:
- the stock exchange (e.g. gettex)
- and the sector (e.g. technology)
This allows you to narrow down the search results to relevant markets and sectors right from the start.
2.2 Adding and editing criteria
Before a search can be started, at least one key figure must be selected under “Add Criteria”:
- First select a general term such as “Dividends”
- You then decide on a specific key figure, such as “Dividend Yield % (5YA)”
The selected criterion then appears in the right-hand area under “Edit Criteria”. Here you can specify the desired value range (e.g. 5 to 8 %) by entering the figures manually or using the slider.
Click on “View Results” to open the corresponding list. Optionally, you can save your current search and access the configuration again later via the “Saved Searches” drop-down menu.
3. Processing results
After opening the list of results, it can be sorted according to the selected key figures by clicking on the desired column.
In addition, further options are available via the three-dot menu to the left of each result:
- Buy or sell
- Add alert
- Open security in another module
- Add to a watchlist
Clicking on a stock in the results automatically opens it in all linked modules.
