Stock Ticker Information in CXO Reports

This article will take you through the steps of creating a sample stock ticker web view portlet, using a free format report, within their CXO Report(s) and/or CXO Homepage. This can include your organizations stock ticker, your competitors stock ticker, and/or any stock ticker in general. 

To summarize the process to achieve this end result, below is a summarized version of the steps:

1. Creating a HTML file to include the details of the stock tickers
2. Creating a Free-Format Report using a Web View Control
3. Upload the HTML file to the CXO Application Server

Creating a HTML file to include the details of the stock tickers

1. Launch Notepad or any text editor on your computer.
2. Paste the following HTML code into Notepad:
   

   <!-- TradingView Widget BEGIN -->
   <div id="tv-medium-widget-d5a1c"></div>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="https://d33t3vvu2t2yu5.cloudfront.net/tv.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">
   new TradingView.MediumWidget({
    "container_id": "tv-medium-widget-d5a1c",
    "symbols": [
    [
    "Apple",
    "AAPL"
    ],
    [
    "Google",
    "GOOGL"
    ],
    [
    "Yahoo!",
    "YHOO"
    ]
    ],
    "gridLineColor": "#E9E9EA",
    "fontColor": "#83888D",
    "underLineColor": "#dbeffb",
    "trendLineColor": "#4bafe9",
    "width": 1000,
    "height": 350,
    "tradeItWidget": false,
    "locale": "en"
   });
   </script>
   <!-- TradingView Widget END -->
   
   

   
   
   
   
   
3. Save the following document on your computer, by clicking File → Save As → with the following file format: "file_name.html" (Replace file_name with anything that you would like. Please do not forge the double quotes around your "file_name.html")
4. Please remember to replace the stock tickers that your organization would like to see within the Stock Portlet. In my example, I have used 3 tickers (many more can be added): Apple*, Google and Yahoo. 
   
   
   *As trading tickets are unique APPL can also be written like NASDAQ:AAPL

Creating a Free-Format Report using a Web View Control

1. Log into CXO and access the CXO-Designer to build a new "Free Format Report"
   
   
   
   
2. From the controls on the right, please select the "Add Control" followed by "Web View"
   
   
   
   
3. Please arrange the "Web View" portlet to size as needed
4. Save and Exit

Upload the HTML file to the CXO Application Server

1. In the report settings, you will now see a section called "Web View". Please expand this selection
   
   
   
   
2. In the box 'URL': add the location on your server where you have placed the HTML file
3. Select the checkbox called "Hide URL Bar"
4. You now have a Stock Ticker Web Portal that will provide live stock ticker information
