Make labels more descriptive
It would be helpful if some of the labels were updated to make them more descriptive, so we don't have to guess or reverse engineer the numbers to figure them out.
For example: in the Fundamental Company Data section, user has no way of knowing just by looking at the table if the column labeled "Forecast (%)" is an annual forecast or is it the forecast for 5 years in total?
In section 3, it says "High this year" and "Low this year". Does that mean the calendar year, or is it a TTM time period? (plus it would be…

Add ability to input prior quarter or year when data is missing from data feed.
1st Quarter of 2016 data for Flowers Foods is missing. I have contacted both BI (June 6) and Morningstar (June 22, July 31, and August 16) to have the data added. It is still not in the data feed and I cannot add a prior quarter of data to the SSG manually to include the missing data.

Suggest only One Tool
I know way to much energy explaining the difference and frankly the difference is not worth the time and effort spent. May I recommend that there be only one tool that is continually improved. Perhaps there is 2 modes expert and newbie.

I understand the SSGs are for finding stocks that fit the BI criteria. What if we could enter the price we paid for a stock to evaluate it
I understand the SSGs are for finding stocks that fit the BI criteria. What if we could enter the price we paid for a stock to evaluate it going forward. The BUYs HOLDs SELLs are based on the current price, right? If we paid more than the current price, the SSG does't show us the potential in our owned stock. Right?

Add the ability to evaluate Dow Jones, S&P and NASDAQ averages
These averages have prices, EPS and dividends. Section 1 plot would not have a sales line but would have EPS line with a projection and price bars. Section 3 would have prices, EPS, P/E ratios, dividends, yields and could have projected highs and lows. We need the ability to evaluate the market as well as individual stocks.

Display the average price for a stock, graphically, and include it on the front page of the SSG along with sales, pretax profits and earning
In addition, or instead of, having vertical price bars, showing high and low for a given year, show the average price as a graph line. It would be nice to see how the price moved along with the sales, earnings, etc graphically

PERT Report Sorting defaults to alphabetical in PDF - an error issue?
When creating a PDF document for the PERT, the created version defaults to alphebatical sorting rather than keeping the sort order chosen. The attached file was created with sorting on the UD ratio but that sort did not remain. I'm looking at this as an error reporting issue rather than a suggestion as I feel like it may be an oversight.

Add Value Links for Dow 30 stocks, or allow users to add custom links
Value Links provides free access for Dow 30 stocks. It would be nice to include a link to the Value Line for these stocks, or at least allow users to add custom links.

Add Radio buttons to speed up entry of PEs, Growth Rate Forcast, etc
There are several popups that could have Radio buttons to assist in the selection of values. For example, the "Determine High Price - Next 5 years" popup,has 3 options: high, avg or current PE. Radio buttons here would really help.
Another is the Determine sales 5 year sales popup.
Cheers

Clean up the PDF feature for PERT.
PERT in PDF format has no colors, cannot be sorted, has no header on the second and following pages, column widths are too small to display data correctly, percent sign usage is inconsistent (% should be eliminated), company name does not need to appear twice, and a fixed two or three line box for each equity would improve readability

Allow changing the data in the estimated EPS column on the PERT form.
Allow changing the data to the analyst's or company's estimated EPS for the upcoming year on the PERT form, like in Toolkit 6. PERT looks great. Thanks for all the hard work.
