How to use calendars
The calendar gives you a global overview on corporate and macro events, both current and historical.
The events are presented in a grid sorted on date, type and time with content based on the current selected filter.
Depending on events you will be able to view the following category of events:
- Announcements
- Results & dividend
- Corporate actions
- New listings & IPOs
- Economic indicators
- Government auctions
- Other macro events
Filter calendars
To filter the events displayed by the calendar grid, click "Filter". This opens filtering menu below the toolbar.
By using the filtering function, you can select the period for which the events will be displayed by choosing either the predefined date range or defining the range yourself.
You can easily change which regions the calendar should display events for and what category of events should be visible.
Calendar grids show upcoming events in white, and past events are grayed out 15 minutes after the event values are received.
If an event has estimates, the actuals will be colored green or red depending on whether the outcome is better or worse than expectations.
