  • Auto sort rows on reload:
    • Unchecked — User’s saved row positioning is maintained after refresh.
    • Checked — User row positioning is lost. Upon workspace open or refresh, Market Grid rows will display similar to when a new Market Grid is opened via Market Explorer.
    Note: This is a widget-level setting and applies to all tabs within a multi-tabbed Market Grid.
  • Set Market Grid columns: Select the columns you want shown in the Market Grid.

In the Detailed Depth section, the following settings are available:
