Edit Mode
The parameters menus enable you to apply parameters at the system, or global,
level, and at the quote window level. You can also change parameters at lower
levels of Aspen Systems: at the underlying instrument level, and at the
individual option level. To change parameters at these levels, you use Aspen Systems Edit Mode feature.
Before you can change option values in a quote window, the window must be in
Edit Mode. To get into Edit Mode, select Edit Cells Off from the Quote Menu. (The menu selection serves as a reminder of the active
quote window
s current Edit Mode state.) This selection is a toggle. When you enter Edit
Mode, the selection changes to Edit Cells On. To exit Edit Mode, select Edit Cells On. Edit Mode enables you to edit prices, volatilities, and other values passed
to the options pricing model.
When you enter a quote window
s Edit Mode, you can change the values you see in the quote window. There are
two methods for changing a value:
1. Using the
Edit Box
2. Using a Quote Code menu.
The method you use to edit a particular value depends on the quote code used
to display the value in the layout. You edit some codes with an edit box, and
you edit others with a menu.
When you edit a value, it becomes locked. A locked value remains as you
ve changed it until you unlock it. Lets look at editing and locking values in more detail.
