Symphony tags

Symphony #tags are powerful ways to stay on top of trends or news.

Free text #hashtags begin with the # symbol followed by a word or words, such as #oilandgas, while Enhanced tags allow for the selection of financial instruments from a curated list and are preceded by a specific icon (Figure 1).

Enhanced tags

Enhanced tags enable you to tag financial instruments.

1. In the message field, type # followed by a word or words to display both the Hashtags and Instruments results list above the message field (Figure 6).

• • Hashtags: Regular hashtags previously seen or typed.
  • Instruments: Stocks, ADRs, ETFs and indices.

2. Select the tag in the list, or use the keyboard down and up arrows to navigate to the tag and press the Tab key.
3. To view more tag results, select the available tabs (Figures 7 to 9). You can search tags for stocks, currency pairs, warrants and stapled securities, and EFTs.

4. Press Enter to send your message and tags.
5. If you don't select a tag, use the Escape key or click outside the message field and displayed tag menu to close the menu.

Tips:

• As Enhanced tags include a space, adding a space after your tag will no longer turn your text into a tag. You must type your tag and then use the Enter or Tab key after your text to do so.
• You can search by ticker symbol, name, ISINs and other identifiers plus select the precise financial instrument to amplify the message and reduce operational risk in workflows. Alternatively, you can continue using regular free text hashtags.
• You can follow an instrument to receive notifications. Tagging instruments triggers notifications, ensuring the message gets the attention it needs from the targeted users. Like existing signals and tags, you will only receive notifications from chat rooms you have access to.
