How to select and organise widgets
1. Upon initial launch of ViewPoint the following screen will be displayed:
Choose ‘Add a template’ to use a premade layout, ‘Add a Widget’ to fill the layout with one widget, or ‘Divide your screen’ to carve out the layout into multiple widget frames. 2x2 is a good starting point for further customisation.
2. Once you have made a layout selection, you can begin customisation.
To add a widget, press the button to make a selection.
To carve the frame further, press the second button.
3. Once opened, widgets can be further customised via their menu, located on the top bar of each widget. An example is shown below:
Moving along the menu from left to right, the options include:
• Add Widget – this will layer a second widget over the original, with the ability to switch between both like tabs in a web browser
• Detach Widget – Opens the widget in a new browser window
• Maximise Widget – Opens the window in a pop-up window
• Replace Widget – Choose a replacement widget
• Carve Widget – Divides the widget frame into more frames (2x2 etc.)
• Remove Widget – Will remove the widget and leave a blank frame
Useful Tip: Widgets can be dragged and dropped onto empty frames or over existing widgets, which will layer them.

How to override commission
1. Toggle the ‘Override Commission’:

If by Category:
If by %:
Select Brokerage Code from the drop down list.
Enter desired commission % (% of trade value) OR minimum commission (in dollars).
3. Refer to the ‘Summary Box’ for explanation:
In this example, the commission charged to the client is $20 + GST = $22.
If brokerage is overridden, the amount showing in the Summary Box will be the total brokerage charged to the client’s account for the trade.
If it is more than the minimum brokerage payable to AUSIEX, the balance will be paid to the Dealer Group/Adviser.
If the total brokerage is less than the minimum brokerage payable to AUSIEX, the client will be charged the amount in the Summary Box and the balance will be invoiced to the Dealer Group/Adviser.
4. Place the rest of the order as normal.
