Enable the TK6 library feature
It's very handy to be able to switch to another library. I have one called "junk" where I don't worry about creating quality SSGs. I have two others for my club and my personal SSGs. I can do TK challenges on the last two without worrying so much about corrupting my results. If I get another vote, I'll vote to add the challenger.

Have only one ticker input field for all studies, like in Toolkit.
It would be simpler to have only one field for ticker input, that would either pull up all studies in database with that ticker, or allow data input for a new study, as is done in Toolkit. If we are in a portfolio and want to look at a stock that is in the database but not in this portfolio, it is now necessary to go back to "all portfolios" to find the study. The current design is very unwieldy, and an unnecessary inconvenience.

Ticker HeatMap - One for each size of company
To supplement the "Small Company" pre-defined screen, it would be nice to have heat-map option to have a separate heat map for each company size -- Large, Medium and Small. Would still like the overall for all studies.

Enable Quarterly Data Charting:
Make better use of the “Quarterly Data” tab. I use it regularly, but it is difficult to spot trends in the data without charting it. Being able to download it into Excel would suit my personal needs. Being able to select the data you want to chart and then click a button and have the chart appear would be great. The ultimate would be to be able to do both.

dividend growth
will be a good idea to see dividend growth since div+growth is in foundation of NAIC ideology. Personally, I like to see low div yield next to high div yield.

Refresh Buttons: Difference between "Refreshing All Studies/Portfolios" and "Refreshing Individual Studies"
When the user Refreshes "All Studies" or "Portfolios", locked data is not touched.
However, when the user Refreshes "Individual Studies" there are two "Overwrite" options and one "Create A Copy" button.
Is it correct to assume that "Overwrite" means Overwrite....including eliminating/overwriting the Locked data?
And, when choosing the "Create a Copy", doesn't that also overwrite locked data, update the data.... and create a copy?
Also: Date Modified column: Gives the date that the user Refreshed either the price or price and data. How can the user tell which companies fundamental data were refreshed? Not all companies release quarterly data on…

PERT mouse-over popups
On the PERT report use mouse-over popup help text to describe each column header and it's derivation eg when mousing over 'Proj RV' - popup 'Projected Relative Value = Proj PE / Avg PE (Projected)'
On PERT report, when hovering over a colored cell use popup help text to describe the condition that triggered the colorization event.

Pop-Up window showing math calculation when moving cursor over a particular field.
Although there is a separate pdf showing the math calculations used behind the scenes in an SSG, a simple pop-up reflecting the math would be faster and more efficient.

Debt label on SCG Stock Comparison Guide
I personally would like to see the last year of Debt % Equity on the Stock Comparison Guide (SCG), rather than a 5-year average. Either way, the label should identify what period the number is for (like PTP and % Earned on Equity are labeled as a 5-year average).

Integrate more of the info in the "SSG Reference Guide" into the Core SSG tutorial information.
Consolidate all guidelines into one area so folks don't have to go between a paper reminder and what's online in the tool

SSGPlus Search return result fields for Sales/Earnings not consistent
The Sale & Earnings growth figures in the "search results" for some companies are not consistent with the SSG. For example, stock symbol MOS (Mosaic) shows:
Sales = 56.3 & Earnings = 8.6 from the Search results
Sales = 2.6 & Earnings = 3.8 on the SSGPlusThere are others with just a discrepancy in Earnings.

Error in Adding long named file to Portfolio
If a study is saved with a long file name adding it to a Portfolio is a problem. Cant easily get to the check box.
To solve this the dialog box must be horizontally scrollable or the file name needs to be truncated or the dialog box needs to be resizable.
Simplest to to truncate long file names in this dialog box1 vote -
Add a sorting indicator on the PDF copy of the PERT report
The PDF copy of the PERT report does not indicate what column the report is sorted on, nor the sorting order. Could something be added to a header or footer that shows what column the report is sorted on, and in what order?

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.

Create a new report to show user judgment (forecast) reference points
The report could be printed alone or with the SSG PDF and would show similar information as the 4 judgment/forecast pop-up windows in order to provide a reference of what was chosen and the other reference points that were displayed at that point in time.

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.
